ABOUT THE PROJECT
Promotional piece for the release of the book “UNBOUND”, I was tasked with creating graphic pieces that incorporated a portion of a dragon. However, it was not a fantasy or storybook dragon; it needed to have ribbons of shadow and smoke coiling around its long, slender serpent form. The dragon was required to have black skin and red eyes, but the focus was on creating an iconic or symbolic image rather than a realistic one, so using grey, white, yellow/gold, and red were also acceptable options. To achieve this, I used a variety of graphic design techniques such as layering and blending images, manipulating color and contrast, and incorporating different textures and patterns to create a visually striking image that met the client’s specifications.
SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK
Elijah Goldsmith has nightmares he needs to ignore. Why would a rich kid from Manhattan dream three straight nights about a dragon and the destruction of St. Peter’s Basilica? He’s never even been to Rome. It’s bad timing, too. He’s graduating soon and applying to be a spy in the International Security Agency. That’s where he meets Naomi. She’s the kind of girl who makes boys like Elijah want to share their secrets. Were they brought together to learn what his secrets mean? There’s more to their sparks than they think.
