Gallery of Artwork Produced by Dye Printing

Produced for Truth Publisher & Dr. Gene Gurganus.

Strangely enough, this full-color cover had been designed, produced, approved and prepped for print. We moved on to the interior pages and finished up 25 chapters--then suddenly the author changed his mind and asked for the cover to be recreated from scratch. (It originally had a mountain path going up into a foggy horizon. The author wanted an eagle image.)

I was confused, but at lunch I saw a point of purchase ad with a font treatment I really liked. I came back to work and added that almost blur glow to the Truth & Freedom text. Then used a scripty-quill pen font, a new photograph, some filter effects and a reworking of the entire color scheme. I worked the file almost completely in Photoshop CS now that fonts aren't automatically downsized in resolution.

Basically you wouldn't recognize the other cover if you saw it. The author loved it, and we had a much better piece. I don't know what he suddenly didn't like about the first one, but in the end I think we got a much better product. Another incredible case of "all things working together for good" when I least expected it.

Now it's an internet course, a workbook, and a teacher's manual!
