This will be an ongoing portfolio of covers I've designed for authors here on Wattpad. I have enjoyed making these projects. If you would like a cover, take a look at what I have here, and let me know what I can do for you. I have worked in the publishing industry for over 20 years now in various ways. Periodicals, print shop work, page design, graphic design and fine art. This is my profession. I usually get paid real money for designs I've done. But sometimes I take on projects because I love the stories, and the cover needs to represent the gold nuggets within. Thanks for looking and feel free to comment and critique. The artist that shuns criticism, is stagnant and unwilling to grow. When you've reached that point. You've reached the end of your usefulness as a designer. Never stand still.
