Designing the Cover of Digging Dr Jones

Digging Dr Jones is a romance adventure novel by Olivia Jackson, inspired by adventure stories like Indiana Jones, but with added spice. I worked on this with Lucy Bennett, an art director at HarperCollins. Along with the brief, I was sent some photos of Colombian rainforests and romance movie posters—both showed the tone they were aiming for. Indiana Jones was the main inspiration for the male character, and the female character needed to look glamorous but practical.
