Let's Walk The French Quarter A Visual Tour By Kerri McCaffety is a book cover that I designed at Pelican Publishing Company in 2014. This book cover design is one of my favorites that I have designed at Pelican Publishing Company and it barely had any changed from my original concept. What I like about it most is that it is a fairly simple idea with a touch of some extra graphic design that makes it fun, gives it meaning of what the book is about and pulls it all together as a nice looking book. The little walking stick figure leaving a trail of dots behind him (some of them blue signifying stops on his walk) is what I think really makes this cover fun and youthful. I also like the color of the green that pops out at you from across the room. I don't always get to get the designs that I want approved but I feel like this was a good win for me. I'm not sure if it's wrong to think this but it might be a little better if Pac-Man was chasing the little stick figure guy around the cover . . . wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka.
 
This book can be purchased at most bookstores, Amazon.com or directly from Pelican Publishing Company.
