Book design:

book cover by steve stinson

What Would Mary Ann Do? (cover design above) was a self help book and it was also a memoir of the Giligan's Island years, so it included a variety of interior formats such as sidebars, pullouts, and quizzes (below).

The Living Word in 3D collection (covers below) was a series of books for Rock Island Press. These books examined linguistic patterns in the Old Testament and were designed with a textbook format.

The poster below also appeared as a spread in the history of the Fenley family. It traces the ancestry of a married couple (oval photos), including arrival dates in America and subsequent migration patterns, and then moves forward with their descendants.

Product Packaging


This bug zapper was originally packaged as an outdoor and camping accessory – greens, browns, camo. I repackaged it as a home accessory for "The Back Yard Hero" and added a little entertainment value. By the way, this product actually works as advertised . . . and so did the repackaging.
