Camp Super©️is a story about a summer camp where Superkind send their children…

I wanted to create a world where not everyone with a superpower desires to be a “cape” and those born with superpowers answer to their own laws and government.

I did the Camp Super©️logo design using Adobe Illustrator… the primary colors, Cardinal and Gold, were inspired by my USC Trojans fandom, but I wanted colors that felt closer to pastel, so I lowered the tint on both to 88% and 95%, respectively.

My Process for planning a series and outlining/writing my YA novel “Camp Super No. 1” 👇🏾

1️⃣ Story Bible - I spent 6 months creating a Bible in Scrivner. Everything from character bios and setting, to vocabulary, foods, technology, customs and traditions...The document is DYNAMIC and grows as I write.

I created the The Beacon Tribune paper because you can’t create a world that mirrors our own without an established media or press… it started as a piece of world building but became something I decided to bring to life.

The Williamsburgh Savings Bank in Brooklyn, New York was the inspiration for the bank depicted in the prologue, The Bank of Aegir’s Brooklyn Branch. (Aegir being the personification of the Sea in Norse mythology - cause I like Vikings 🤷🏾‍♂️).

The unsung heroes of creativity: index cards! Went through several hundred though out world building, brainstorming & outlining the Camp Super novels often going to several office supply stores because I needed the exact colors to match the ones already on my board. 😅 #superheroes #sciencefiction

Very early attempt at a Camp Super map 🗺️… back then I was calling it Super Camp, but switched the words once I was able to secure the domain campsuper[dot]com - that it was even available was a nice coup for Lyonsarts’ long-term plans.
