The Reef & Montana Sky cover

Role / concept, photo manipulation and design

The frame design inspired by UI trend brings eyes back to the author and the title.
It works because the boat is creating tension, drama, hint of action and suspense.
Color adds to Caribbean atmosphere without showing a palm leaf.

 Color stands out compared to other titles. It also works for the smaller scale thumbnail.
It brings sense of isolation, moodiness and and suspense.
