Failure vs. serendipity: Yesteryear Press hired N-K to design a new historical mystery, “Cover Her Body.” The book cover was an offshoot of the graphics created used for the book’s website, but did not start off that way.

When Magnus Accounting Solutions contacted N-K, they were in the early stages of their start-up. The company had a name but no identity or marketing materials. Magnus specializes in small- business accounting with temporary/flexible services.
