Book cover design for a self-published book to be sold on Amazon as a paperback as well as ebook.
The reader takes a quiz of 100 backgammon positions and then see how they fared versus 12 of the best players in the world. The pros then give explanations as to why they made their plays.
Th designs I had are a bit flat so far.
The special thing about this book is 12 of best in world taking the quiz before the reader. That is the attraction…
So how about design where photos of all 12 of them are showing within a backgammon board. You can leave the space for their pics and I insert later or you do once won contract.
But focus on the geniuses would be great, thank you!
