By: Nancy Gershman Ancestor Dreamscapes are a perfect example,” adds Barnes. To deepen the emotional tone of an author’s book, Gershman distills legacies into iconic moments where symbolic elements are digitally blended into historical photos. The visualization of a memory or family lore – using digital photo manipulation software - can be emotionally compelling for authors who have a story to tell but no photos to support it. “Dreamscapes are forged by real moments from the historical record,” says Gershman. “It’s the visual where I take a little bit of a license.” This conversation will completely transform the way you think about book jacket design and chapter art.
