Cathi Shaw - The Marked Ones Book Series

The Five Corners was Cathi’s first book in the series. This cover was created using a combination of digital painting and stock photos. The title type is set in Cinzel Decorative.

The second book in Cathi’s Marked One's series features an entirely digitally painted cover. The cover was painted with custom brushes in Adobe Photoshop using a Wacom Intuos graphics tablet.

The third book in the Marked One's series is a prequel. The cover design carries through the typography and brand of the first two books - this time using the Marked One's symbol as a centerpiece.

This symbol carried through the series and was initially hand sketched by the author's daughter. I recreated it digitally using Adobe Illustrator which gave me far more options to include it in the designs.
