Design a stunning book cover for this very important book. The cover is to convey the concept of the book, that Christianity has become corrupt and toxic.
Here are two idea concepts:
Concept 1:
Background:
The beautiful sun in the sky.
Middle ground:
A gold cross casting a shadow on the foreground.
Nice, not necessary: The cross has signs of rotten-ness or corrosion.
Foreground:
Some beautiful flowers or plants. Where the shadow of the cross falls, the flowers and grass are dead or dying.
Key Design Concept: The concept must emphasize the effect of the cross' shadow on the flowers. In other words, the foreground with the shadow of the cross killing the flowers is PRIMARY and must be emphasized.
Concept 2:
Very similar to the primary concept except the perspective is from the closest flower/plant (the foreground) instead of a perspective where the foreground is not dominant.
Other comments:
Would like photorealistic art.
Please contact me about size because the book cover size is not set yet.
