"The Phoenix and the Hydra" for Harper Collins. Allison Saltzman, Art Director.
It had to have an image of a phoenix (the mythological firebird) and a hydra (the microscopic sea creature) and, it turns out, it had to have huge type. I still like the (understandably unfeasible) first round comp sans title but the third cover was loved and approved.
The title of the book was changed last minute and the design had to be taken in-house to meet deadline. Hence, my first Kill Fee.
This is the fourth coffee table book that Picturia Press has designed for German photographer, Hellmut Issels. The images appearing in this book were shot with an infrared camera in the larger temple area of the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, as well as the temples of Angkor Thom and Bayon.

Picturia Press was contacted by the wonderful photographer, Kevin Stallard, to design his coffee table book, My Sierra A Personal Perspective. Mr. Stallard has been photographings the Sierra Mountains over a period of many years, capturing different perspectives of the Sierra over the different seasons. He has always desired to create a coffee table book showcasing some of his stunning images and we are thrilled we could work with him on this project.

Book designer Giles of Osprey Design posted this cover design, which he calls "woeful". I sort of admire the 2-dimensionality, but it certainly has serious composition problems.
As an experiment, I tried to introduce some distinctions between author/title/etc and to tinker with the balance of figure to ground. The changes are headed in a direction that fundamentally undermines some of the quirkiness of the original while clearing up some of the problems. I wouldn't call it the "right" direction. And if it were, I haven't taken it far enough yet.
The version posted here, which I assume to be the final design, takes a different tack, of lightening the background to help the text stand out. I think that version went in absolutely the right direction and is much better than my experiment.
