Covers

The image above is a draft of what I had imagined the cover of the 1st book to look like. I wanted the title design to capture some of the essence of what I felt was the 'Sultanate of Malacca', which seemed fitting for the era and location of the imaginary world of Raja Rajawali. Intricate wood carvings with flora motifs were often used to adorn the doors and windows of the royal palace, and this idea formed the foundation on which design decisions for the title were made. I was very lucky to have the assistance of some very talented friends with amazing design sensibilities to help develop, refine and execute the idea. The following 2 images are what the covers of the first 2 books finally look like.
