Book Cover Design Brief

Create a design for the front and back cover page of my new book "Forecasting Programs" that has elements of the cover of my existing textbook "Forecast Scheduling" (see Amazon.com or attached files), such that it looks like a book from the same company (ProjectPro) but distinct enough for it to be clearly recognized by readers as a brand-new book on a brand-new topic. "Forecast Scheduling" is about the best practices for scheduling projects, whereas the new book "Forecasting Programs" is about the best practices for scheduling programs: 'A program is a set of related projects that are better managed together than apart'. In other words: A program is a really BIG project, so big it needs to be subdivided into multiple projects and then integrated again with cross-project dependencies (normally depicted with arrows!) in order to keep the overview over the entire program.

Target Market(s)

program managers, subproject managers and program support staff

Requirements

Must have

• The cover of the book must be size: 19 cm wide * 23.5 cm high (7.5 * 9.25 inch); the thickness of the book varies with the number of pages in the book currently estimated at 250 pages.
• (Draft) Title: Forecasting Programs
• (Draft) Subtitle: Best Practices for Scheduling Real-World Programs
• (Draft) Sub-subtitle: Screenshots in Microsoft Project
• The design must include front cover, spine cover and back cover.
• The exact text will be provided for the front back, spine cover and back cover.
• Must 'feel' like a book from the same company that published the book "Forecast Scheduling", but the design must be distinct enough to be clearly recognized by potential readers as a brand-new book on a brand-new topic.
• Appear as a textbook for professionals, for the business community
• Design files must be native Microsoft Windows computer application files that author can further refine and edit with appropriate Microsoft Windows-based design software, like the Adobe or Corel suite.
• Copyrights must be acknowledged.

Nice to have

• Somehow the audaciousness of a large undertaking like program should be reflected in the design.
• Somehow the 'leading edge' nature of the books contents needs to be reflected; there are very few books on 'program management'.
• Colors for taskbars in a Gantt Chart (=chart with tasks over time with durations of tasks depicted as bars) are often blue. The Critical Path (=series of tasks that drive the project duration) task bars are red. A program schedule has Gantt Charts and one (or more) Critical Path(s). Dependencies between activities in a project schedule or between subproject schedules are depicted as arrows.

Should not have

• Same design as "Forecast Scheduling"
• Appear unprofessional
