What got you into designing covers in the first place?
I needed a some covers and stumbled on the web-site dvdcoverart, and as i couldn't pay for it (no creditcard yet) i desided i would make my own covers.
Is there anyone on the cover making scene that has inspired you?
Rick Easton for sure, when i saw his spanning spines i knew that was something i wanted to do.
What would be your best advice to any up and coming designer?
Buy access to a site for the first year or so, because the most difficult thing for me as a new designer was to find good quality artwork and templates.
This way you'll have access to loads of great resources.
Try to avoid one color backgrounds, use a nice texture or image instead and blend it with your background color.
What’s your favourite cover you have made?
That has to be Wolverine, it is one of the few covers i have made, that i had an idea of what i wanted to do from start till finish, most of the time i start a cover and see where it takes me as i'm designing.
