Hello designers!

It it a guide that describes how entrepreneurs can build successful products by testing the market for a product early and often.

Please visit Amazon to see the "mock" book cover currently being used to promote the book and to learn more about it: http://amzn.com/111829534X
Business & Consulting
The aim is design a great cover that captures attention and instantly sells the book. SIMPLICITY and POWER are paramount. The book cover will be landscape oriented, the aspect-ratio is roughly: 5:4.
REQUIREMENTS
The cover must include the following:
1) Title and subtitle - The Lean Entrepreneur: How to Create Products, Innovate with New Ventures, and Disrupt Markets
2) Co-authors' names: Brant Cooper and Patrick Vlaskovits
3) Title of the authors' previous book: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Customer Development
4) The phrase: Foreword by Eric Ries
5) The phrase: Illustrations by FAKEGRIMLOCK
NOTE: Most sales will be via digital channels such as Amazon, so it is VERY important that the title is readable and that the overall design is eye-catching as a thumbnail image (160x120).
