Josh Raymer has been a friend of mine for quite a while. I’m not sure exactly how or when we met, but since then, he has always provided me with great opportunities to share my talents. He is a very productive person; Always starting up new and exciting projects. With all of his projects, there is a need for design and branding, which he always comes to me for, and whenever someone he knows is in need, he recommends me. He introduced me to Kelley Coppinger at Western Kentucky University, who soon after became my adviser, most influential professor, and friend. He convinced me to join the WKU Talisman staff when I got to WKU (which I knew nothing about). While at the Talisman, I received 2 national awards for my work, and the book as a whole also won national awards each year I was there. I am extremely lucky to know Josh. I am especially grateful for all the opportunities he has provided me and all the years he has believed in me.

Last summer, Josh contacted me about his most exciting project yet. He told me he was almost finished writing a book, and he wanted me to design the cover. I am a huge fan of books, so I was beyond stoked to work on this. Here we are about a year later, and the book is in hand. The good thing about working with someone like Josh, is that he has vision and attention to detail. He knows how to share that vision with me in order to get the best outcome. We work very well together. Going back and forth with him through all the drafts and versions of the cover was very fun.

Josh self published this book, and did a damn good job. The hard copies of this book are beautifully immaculate. Great size, great feel, and great quality. You can purchase a hard copy via the book’s website, http://www.devilshalobook.com/ or you can purchase the eBook on Barnes & Nobles’ Nook store, Amazon’s Kindle store, or iTunes’ book store. I would highly recommend checking this book out. I am 40 pages in, and things are already starting to heat up. I am proud of Josh and very excited to see what he does next!
