About the design

The cover design originated as a graphic interpretation of the author riding one of his favorite horses in the Ozark Mountains of Southern Missouri. I collaged several photos together in Photoshop to recreate the scene. I then imported the composite into Illustrator where I used an image trace filter to soften the look and make it more artistic. The title text and the additional text elements were then placed in Adobe Illustrator to complete the design.
