As Featured on IMDb: Escape From Plauen Book Cover Redesign

Kyla Pearson

While interning at DCTV, I was tasked with recreating the current e-book cover for the war memoir Escape From Plauen by Renate Stoever, to go along with the upcoming televised mini-series adaption of the book.

This is the final design that was chosen by the studio. It was also adapted for distribution on Apple Books, Amazon Kindle and Kobo. The cover features a black & white historical photo from 1945, which depicts the ruins of Plauen, Germany after the WWII bombing of the city. The 3 figures in the photo are Renate Stoever (In blue) & her family. I restored the photo (Both in colour and black & white), then took some creative liberties by adding a dust effect and the blue colour to Stoever’s dress, which was inspired by the girl in the red dress featured on the official key art for Steven Spielberg’s film adaption of Schindler’s List (1993).

It is also featured on IMDb as the official art for the series and reflects one of the first official credits I’ve earned while working in this industry. To view the official IMDb page for the upcoming televised mini-series, click here.

INTERVIEW: Hunter Jordan Discusses His Single, “You Wears Off” and Reflects on the First Year of His Solo Project

Within the first year of his solo project, contemporary country artist Hunter Jordan has already proven to be a name to watch.

Nashville-based contemporary country artist Hunter Jordan has been on a steady rise since he debuted his solo project in February of last year. While starting over from scratch can be a gamble, his debut solo release, “Dark,” proved it can pay off. Within the first weekend, the track was featured on UPstar Music’s “New Music Friday” playlist and gained over 40K+ digital streams on Spotify (with over 343.6K+ digital streams on Spotify at the time of writing). His upward trajectory only continued after that. By the end of year, he had opened for Tyler Farr at Buffalo River Jam, performed for the third time at sought-after venue Luke Combs’ Category 10 (this time as part of BusCall), played numerous local shows and a couple of Upstate New York runs, released 7 singles, grown his highly-engaged online fanbase, secured Spotify listeners in 130+ countries (74.5K+ monthly listeners at the time of publication), and added a couple hundred thousand streams to the 4M+ collective streams across platforms in his career discography (with 1.7M+ collective streams across platforms in his solo discography a year in a half in)— and that’s just scratching the surface.

Last December, he released the “Biggest song of his year,” “You Wears Off”— which he co-wrote with Drew Green (“Best Ex I Ever Had”) and Ethan Willis. Within the vulnerable tune, he sings of a heartbreak he can’t move past by illustrating the small reminders that make the memory of her so hard to erase, like the fragrance of Chanel No. 5.
