ABOUT THE ROLE
Finding More is a memoir about one man's journey into an unseen world that changes everything he thought he knew about himself, his marriage, and what he actually wants out of life. The author came to me with a clear vision: he wanted the cover to feel like the opening credits of Mad Men, that iconic silhouette style where bold shapes and sharp lines do all the storytelling.
I brought that vision to life through hand-illustrated artwork created in Procreate and Adobe Illustrator, designing original characters that reflect the themes of the book without giving too much away. The result is a cover that feels cinematic, a little mysterious, and very intentional.
The design was adapted across multiple formats including the physical book with full back cover, spine, and front, the ebook cover, and the audiobook cover, each version tailored to its platform while keeping the visual identity consistent throughout.
FROM THE AUTHOR
"I hired Tiana to design the cover of my book after being made aware of her work and seeing how talented she was. We met for just an hour, and I explained to her my vision for what I wanted. I had a very specific image in my head and wasn't sure if I could explain it to anyone in a way that would make sense. Tiana listened and really got my vision right away. When I saw her work in progress when it was only half completed, I could already tell that she 100% got what I was looking for."
FROM THE AUTHOR
"She ultimately delivered me a cover that is so close to what I saw in my head that I can't believe it's actually real. We had some tough challenges to solve with colors and fonts, and she was wonderful throughout that process. She was always a joy to work with, never defensive or too attached to any specific details. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing similar work done."
