Map Illustration:
I’m a map maker with absolutely no real-life cartography experience. I specialize in fantasy map illustration for the stories that pull the reader into a new universe. Bring me the worlds you’ve been creating in your novel, video game, or D&D campaign, and I’ll transform your dreams into a tangible masterpiece. My style is unique to each and every map, tailored to meet your vision. I am determined to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the end result.
Interior Design: both print and ebook
Whether it’s typesetting a manuscript or designing an activity book, it takes a certain kind of neat freak to keep everything clean and consistent across 500 pages. That's where I come in! I use InDesign to design pages with unique chapter openers, section breaks, front matter and back matter with art and decoration—stylized for the genre and tone and themes of the story.
I like to push the boundaries of design and typography—always trying new ideas and striving to create something never seen before. And everyone could use more options. My goal is to give you as many unique concepts as I can, and we work from there. From striking imagery to typography that demands attention, every element is thoughtfully curated to convey the heart and soul of your book.
Thanks for reading this far! Please take a look at my work below, and reach out for quotes and schedules. I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks,
Travis
