Difficult People
CLIENT
Tyndale House Publishers
Tyndale House Publishers is a faith-based publishing company that produces books in both English and Spanish. As a summer intern, I completed 5 published book covers in 3 months. I collaborated with the acquisitions teams, presented 3-4 compositions for each book, made revisions, and polished the final covers.
Nonfiction book cover developed during a summer internship at Tyndale House Publishers. The acquisitions team requested a tone that felt approachable rather than confrontational, resulting in a playful visual interpretation of complex emotions.
