Book Covers
These are book covers I created while working for American Technical Publishers between 2005 and 2014.

They were created primarily in Photoshop, augmented with Illustrator and some 3D models in a few cases. They were made in consultation with technical editors and authors who are the subject matter experts on the material shown.
I created the circuit board in 3D using SketchUp and Thea Render. The title and overall design were created in Photoshop, with final text in Illustrator.
This was a softcover book with a design meant to mimic the Briggs and Stratton logo. I created the design in Adobe Photoshop with final text touches in Adobe Illustrator.
The hydraulic pipe in the title and the exploded one in the lower-right were made in SketchUp and Thea Render. The rest of the cover design was done in Photoshop.
A draft version of the previous cover. I created the axial piston pump cutaway in 3D, rendered in Thea Render, and composited in Photoshop. The backdrop and title were also created n Photoshop, with final text in Illustrator.
Covers from the first and second editions of Motors. These motor cutaways were hand drawn first and then recreated isometrically in Illustrator. At the time, I was just starting to learn 3D and these specific images were the inspiration to learn it.
This book cover used artwork created in 3D using SketchUp and Thea Render. Final composition was done using Photoshop with final text in Illustrator.
This was a softcover book with the design primarily done in Photoshop. The conduit was created in Illustrator.
