The most difficult part of any illustration is the concept. Creating a work of art, (often about an unfamiliar subject) involves a lot of research with countless ideas roughed out on paper. It can also lead to many sleepless nights, and sketching at 3 o’clock in the morning.
The concept needs to check the boxes on three points.
Author Myron Ball contacted me about a rewrite of an earlier publication that I had created the cover for. The book would have a new title, he would rewrite the pages, and he wanted a new cover.
The concept I presented is simple: ancient knowledge updated for the current generation. Extensive research led me to many different cultures and how their knowledge was passed down through the written word in decorative presentations. I wanted this cover to convey the same look.
The hidden meanings of these manuscripts are only understood by scholars, and those that seem to possess an inner wisdom. Myron takes this wisdom, and offers it for the modern reader.
The concept needs to check the boxes on three points.
- First - it must work for me. I always ask the questions: “Does it tell the story” and if the client chooses this sketch, can I live with it?
- Second - it must satisfy the client, touching emotions and selling points.
- Third - it must reach out to viewers, grabbing their attention, inviting them in.
