I designed potential covers for a new title to be published by Rutgers University Press. The title of the book cover I worked on is Time to Get Real! from the authors Alex J. Plinio and Melissa Smith. The subtitle of the book states, "Turning Uncertainty into an Action Plan for Personal and Professional Success". It is a self-help book that appeals to a general audience.

The art direction was to have no illustration, but all type. I presented four kinds of covers that displayed dynamic and balanced compositions, with a hierarchical structure of the various components⁠—book title, author, and subtitle.
