Here is a little sneak peak of artwork from The Dark Orchestra! This photo can be found in “Chapter 10: Go Under” where the catch position for the Snatch and Clean are discussed. During the developmental stages of the project we had two goals:

1.) To use photos depicting aspects of the Snatch and Clean & Jerk as they actually occur in competition or training as opposed to staging them.

2.) Stylize the photos giving them a drawn in affect which would contribute to the overall artistic atmosphere of the book.

We were able to complete both of these goals because of the incredibly talented Jordan Aguilar. Jordan is a masterfully skilled designer from LinguaLinx, INC. and he spent countless hours making sure each photo in the book was perfect. Jon, Jessica, and I could not be more proud of the work he did for us.
