Book Cover Design

...Namaste,
I was recently commissioned with the great honor of developing a book cover illustration and corresponding jacket design, for the Sapinsh translation of a very influential book titled "Leadership for an Age of Higher Consciousness", by B.T. SWAMI. Below are two samples depicting the Illustration , Front, Back and incerpt designs. Within the design process of developing the final outcome, The client inishaly wished to include a Lion (representing "strength" and "leadership"), and a Lotus flower (representing "higher conciousness"). Respecting the powerfull meaning of the combination of these two imageries, a stylized ancient Lion was depicted, poised within the center of a Lotus flower, representing "leadership" guarding the spiritual wisdom, which sprouts from the center of "Higher Counciousness". Based on the powerfull nature of this book, I hope the imagery acheieved will compliment the higher meaning within its pages..,
-Namaste
