Book Cover Design Direction, Sh*t List by Daniel A. Hoyt, for WHISK(e)Y TIT® Publishing

I created this cover design for the soon to be released novel by Daniel A. Hoyt.

The brief included: a strange squirrel like small mammal broken basketball hoop, Russian tanks on white house lawn

Based on the summary of the novel, I decided to use an Audubon illustrative style, push the small orange mammal forward, while alluding to the other elements in the background. I did try other visual directions (included in the slide show bellow) but the author chose the direction with the abstracted basketball hoop best.
