Book Cover Design Brief
Book cover for Ebook (Kindle) and wrap around print cover (Createspace) (back, front, and spine)
The book title (may slightly change by end of brief):
(MAIN TITLE) 'Overcome Social Anxiety and Shyness'
(SUB HEADING) 'A Step-by-Step Self Help Action Plan to Overcome Social Anxiety, Defeat Shyness and Create Confidence'
by Dr Matt Lewis
I would like a bold, stand out cover. Contemporary. I would like to avoid stereotypical images of people looking anxious or worried. I would like the design to be more uplifting and hopeful, rather than focusing on the negative aspect of anxiety, but avoiding cliched photos of people raising their hands in the air, smiling and jumping etc. The cover should appeal to both men and women.
Trim size of book cover (for CreateSpace) is 5.25" x 8" back and front with a spine size of 0.477 inches
Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I have decided to extend the deadline by 1 more day, not because I am unhappy with the quality of the designs, but because a few designers have contacted me to explain they have had technical difficulties when submitting their files. Thanks everyone for the hard work and great designs.
