Book Cover Design Brief
I need a cover for my novel called Kept. It's set in Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. My heroine lives on the eighteenth floor in Metropolitan Tower (310 S. Michigan Avenue) and has a view of Buckingham Fountain and the lake. The fountain is important to the story.
My idea for the cover is to show my heroine from the back, shoulders and up maybe?, looking out her 18th floor window onto Buckingham Fountain and Lake Michigan. The fountain would need to be off to the right in her window to be accurate to the area. I'd like to give her a pensive feel, like a hand against the glass or something like that. She's a kept woman who's become trapped in her lifestyle, and I want to show her doubts and regrets. If possible, I'd love a reflection of a man's face in the window. like he's behind her but out of our view.
The book starts in May so I'm going for a spring feel and color theme. I'd also like it to be a daytime shot. The fountain also has hourly water shows where the center jet shoots 150 feet into the air. I would love for the shot of the fountain to include that.
The target audience is women college-aged to mid-forties.
Here's a link to a book cover I like: http://www.amazon.com/Prayer-Box-Lisa-Wingate-ebook/dp/B00CH7KXY2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1398275671&sr=8-4&keywords=lisa+wingate
I like the simplicity of it but with brighter spring colors.
Another cover I just found and love the classy simplicity of: http://www.ginaholmes.com/2014/04/24/driftwood-tides-cover-reveal/
I do plan on future books in this series, so I would love to find a designer I can continue to work with.
If you've got a different concept for a cover, I am open to seeing it. Thank you!
