The Sentinel (Book Cover)
This is the cover for my 2010 National Novel Writing Month novel. Nanowrimo is a challenge to write 50,000 words in 30 days (aka a ‘novel’) and we are encouraged to create covers and banners for our works in progress.
The Sentinel is a slightly dystopia urban fantasy story. I think I was too strong on the realism and I used too much Buffyspeak to make it as dreary as it probably should be.
Anyway, the story is about a teenager who becomes a vigilante to protect people who choose to use magic after it reappears in the real world. It tends to jump back and forth between him being a normal teen and being the scary guy pictured above.
Created from a stock image in Photoshop with filters and color variations. I made this to fit the limit of the space alloted on Nanowrimo.org, so I might try to redo this at a realistic dpi.

I dropped the caption, made it larger and darker. Plus white transparent space on top because it’s the only thing at the top of the blog now and was a

This is my portfolio website located at portfolio.aocdesign.com. I got the concept and some basic layout information off of a online tutorial, but quickly started changing things. The color scheme stayed the same but I resized it because the tutorial was from an age of smaller computers. I personalized the graphics and added some of

Yeah, another logo. This one is for my personal blog and the one that got me in the mood to play with these designs again. I was actually going in a more gold direction but it turned silver (actually white) and I fell in love with it. For today. I may need to resize it

The first piece of new work I’m putting online is the logo for this website. I tried to come up with something several times before I accidentally did this. Not exactly what I was expecting but I feel it works for the site and for me. Made with Photoshop CS4
