Book Cover: Lies At Six by Sarah Scott

I did a book cover recently for west coast author Sarah Scott.
The novel is about a TV news reporter (Jolie Marston) who finds herself in a murder mystery.

The novel is called Lies At Six


Sarah was very nice to work with and it proved to be a fun and educational project. She wanted something with a TV studio feeling and after playing around with pixelated  anchors and camera lenses we settled on a control panel with studio lights and camera.

My first effort (below) proved to be a bit cluttered and we wanted the news anchor to be more anonymous.


 Also the control panel just had too much distraction going on. This was the fun part, because I ended up building the control panel in Photoshop so that it is completely CGI except for some of my photographs added into the small screens.

Here is the control panel before I added it to the cover and tilted the perspective.


Below is the finished wrap-around print cover.


Like a said earlier Sarah was a pleasure to work with on this project, and the CGI was educational and pushed my PS skill a bit.
