The client wanted something unique, but my initial submissions didn’t quite meet their expectations. That’s when I decided to think outside the box and create something truly original. This design emerged, and to my delight, it won their internal voting process before they selected me. What an incredible moment! I thoroughly enjoyed working on this contest. The book, titled Lost Herbal Remedies, was a joy to contribute to.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/153/153113/attachment_153113067 "Creating 'The Art of Effective Communication' was a bit challenging because the client wanted the text to pop and the image to convey the essence of communication. I embraced the challenge and crafted a design that met their expectations. The client loved it so much that they also commissioned a paperback version of the design. I truly enjoyed working on this project and am proud of the result!")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/149/149291/attachment_149291944 "I had previously worked on a similar contest, so I decided to give this one a shot. It was a bit challenging because the client wanted something different yet simple. I experimented with the text, and they ended up liking it. I won!")

She’s also a regular client, making the collaboration even more enjoyable. The book is a dog coloring book for kids, and I felt very comfortable and had a great time working on it.")

After this contest, I collaborated with her on several projects. For this design, I aimed to appeal to a teenage audience and experimented with various fonts. This is the final outcome.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/150/150701/attachment_150701589 "When I first saw the contest \"Chair Yoga Fitness for Seniors Over 60,\" I thought, \"How can I possibly create something for this?\" I felt puzzled and unsure. So, I decided to go to bed and get a fresh start in the morning. At 5 a.m., with a clear mind, I created this entry—and I won! Yay!")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/149/149418/attachment_149418690 "There's a story behind this design. I created it by experimenting with the font, and the client loved it. After that, they entrusted me with their second book cover. I completed it successfully, and they gave me warm appreciation for my work!")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/153/153204/attachment_153204994 "For this design, I aimed to portray a successful real estate professional. I enjoyed collaborating with the client. They expressed satisfaction with the work by offering additional compensation for both the paperback and hardcover editions. We are currently discussing two further projects together.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/151/151003/attachment_151003994 "For this cover, I designed a serene shed with 'Dark Sheds' as the title. The client particularly appreciated the image, which features a shadow cast by the full book. This is one of my favorite covers—simple yet impactful.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/154/154140/attachment_154140624 "This cover design effectively reflects the client's brief by presenting a clean, modern, and professional aesthetic. The design maintains a sense of warmth and approachability through. The overall effect is a visually appealing and impactful cover that communicates the book's practical nature and resonates with readers seeking guidance on mental well-being and relationship management.")

The color was chosen by one of my favorite star clients. At the time, I was battling dengue and in a difficult state, but the client was incredibly understanding and supportive, helping me see the project through to completion. All credit goes to you, Sir! I’m truly grateful and look forward to working with you again whenever you reach out.")
