Thunder & Herds Left Coast Press The title and author line are set in a antiqued typeface. The rough edges relate to the unrefined lines of the rock art. I decorated the dark grey background with medium-grey petroglyphs from various sites in the plains. The classic cover composition—title at the top, photo, then author at the bottom—balances the rough character of the photo and typeface to create a sophisticated academic look.
	The Acquisition of Egyptian Arabic as a Native Language Georgetown University Press This title is part of a series of type-only covers. To add interest to the red background I added an Islamic graphic from one of my good, old Dover clip art books.
	The Evolution of Cultural Diversity Left Coast Press The authors contend that “...there are a number of theoretical reasons to believe that cultural diversification might be tree-like, that is phylogenetic.”. Naturally, I thought an image of a tree would be appropriate. The branching text refers back to the photograph.
	The Archaeology of Identity Left Coast Press This book focuses on the interaction of the military and civilian populace of Late Roman Britain. The subject is ancient, but the approach is post-modern. The design combines classic serif type with modern sans-serif a face. Coin images are common to the covers of ancient history books. To break away from that convention I cropped out the two soldier figures which appeared on the coin photo I was given.
