During my time at Linode, I helped do the covers for all of our eBook releases. It took a little bit of effort, but eventually we reached a standardized look & feel that also feels iconic. I also set up some 3D render templates that can be updated and managed entirely in Photoshop.
This was a project that we did in late Spring 2022 to rebuild the covers for our eBooks, and align it all to a very ‘Linody’ theme. This was the result, after very carefully selecting a donor image of a ship wheel with only 6 tines. As it turns out, 7 tines is too many. 🙂
An illustration I composed for the eBook, ‘The MSP’s Guide to Modern Cloud Infrastructure’ using a mixture of hand illustrations (the background, backdrop, foreground) and stock elements (the hiker).
