William Hogarth—A Freemason's Harlot | Jeremy Bell
This tremendous book was written and produced by Jeremy Bell (Jerry). Knowing my affinity for publishing design, Jerry reached out to me for help in bringing this project to life. Although the subject matter is often quite humorous, it was essential that the book and its extensive research be presented in a sophisticated manner.
I designed and typeset the book—cover to cover. I wouldn't say it was a daunting task, but it certainly wasn't a small one. The book sports more than 300 illustrations, with cross-referencing and annotation throughout the extensive text. InDesign's GREP features proved to be invaluable for this project, aiding me greatly from start to finish.
To my delight, the book and its design was met with numerous positive reviews. Jerry's work is more than deserving of praise and acclaim—so it was my dearest wish to do the material and its author proper justice.

Photo Book Series | Madavor Media
Many of the Madavor Media titles I worked with would regularly hold photography contests, focusing on various themes. Part of the prize for winners and finalists would be showcasing their work in a commemorative photo book. I was tasked with coming up with a clean design approach for these books, to be used on an on-going basis. Below are a few examples of these.

The Family Addiction Guide Book | Thomas Harrison
Tom Harrison and I worked together on several ancillary products during my time at Lawyers Weekly. He later approached me for help in designing and typesetting the cover and interior of a personal project—an educational resource he'd authored for family members looking for help in understanding and dealing with addiction issues.
A self-published title, it was well-received by readers, with many positive reviews posted online. The book was later picked up and reissued by Guilford Press.
The front and back cover are shown below, along with a few interior pages.
