This month, Michelle Argyle at Melissa Williams Design reimagines the cover of Plunge: One Woman’s Pursuit of a Life Less Ordinary by indie author Liesbet Collaert.

Design Note 1: I loved the tilted title on the original, so I kept that element while also using a more playful, larger font to stand out more.

Design Note 2: I wanted a larger image of the author, so I chose a fun, tilted picture that not only showcases her sailing in her element but also plays with the tilted title.

Design Note 3: Using bold colors like yellow and red set this cover apart from the original.
