The Messenger trilogy
For this project, I developed a complete visual identity and narrative for a paranormal book trilogy centered on a character named Jacob. The series follows his haunting journey from adolescence into young adulthood, and it remains one of my favorite creative works to date.
Project Overview
Narrative Development: I authored the plot summaries for all three books, establishing a consistent tone of suspense and growth across the trilogy.
Custom Illustration: I hand-illustrated all three book covers, using specific imagery to reflect Jacob's evolving struggle with the paranormal over the years.
Color & Design: I personally selected the PMS (Pantone) colors to ensure a moody, atmospheric palette that remains consistent across the physical print editions.
Advertising: I designed a promotional campaign and advertisement materials to launch the series and engage a Young Adult/Adult audience.
