BOOK COVER DESIGN Powerful, Innovative, Impactful BE CREATIVE!

Manual for Living - A User's Guide to the Meaning of Life

I am looking for a POWERFULLY IMPACTFUL NON-TRADITIONAL (if possible) book cover design. You can go one of two ways with this. Little to no clip art but a very creative imagery (see two sample existing book covers that I have provided which almost show a unique book styling that looks almost 3-dimensions but perhaps beaten up a little - I REALLY LIKE THAT STYLE), or you can use one of the sunset photos that I have taken and provided if you are inspired to do something in that direction (they are currently low resolution but if I go with your design I will provide a high resolution version). The book cover should exude curiosity and strength, while also showcasing confidence, wisdom, and even maybe ancient knowledge (no religious symbols please). Also, no need to overdo it, please keep it crisp and clean. The name of the book needs to be large enough that one can read it easily from 4 feet away.

The book is trade paper (paperback) 6”x9” 274 pages. Please find attached a copy of the design TEMPLATE that needs to be used – in EPS or INDD – your choice. Layered source files will be required. One round of minor text edits may be requested. The winner of this contest will be given first priority to design the two next books in the series if you are interested.
