We of course don't all see the world the same way.  But doing graphic design is
apparently very different for me than it is for most people.  My brain doesn't
perceive directions or spatial relationships in a "normal" way.  When I look at a
magazine cover, book cover, album cover, I have to mentally put the pieces
together because I don't perceive it all at once.

So to design magazine covers, album covers, or book covers, I must translate what
I imagine in a way that would work for other's perceptions.  I hope what I design
works for you.  If you think you might like me to design a cover for your book,
album, magazine, a playing card, or something else, send me an
email.
Most of my graphic designs are "made
from scratch."  I usually take and
arrange the photos, and often create
the lettering.  But I can design to your
specifications.  I'm currently working on
designs for
Sixfold magazine.
