CASE STUDY
A first time author came to me with the manuscript. I worked closely with him illustrating the 7 main characters the way he imagined them. Usually I stay on budget, but this was a rare project where the schedule was thrown out the window. During an intense year, I pumped more New York City skyscrapers and crowds into the 36 illustrations than would have been possible in the original 1 month schedule.

In the end, I invented a cover concept which comes very close to telling the entire story in one picture.
The search. The chase. The key scenes. All wrapped up with a bow.

For the next step, the client mapped up the flow of the website. My key selling point is that I was able to bring the directive to life with interesting, inventive style. The list of links became a chain of exploding gift boxes. The elf and box motif from the cover of the book is animated into life as website navigation. I put a lot of heart into the project. I played and recorded the xylophone roll over sound effects. The website shows the extent of my programming skills.
