Book Cover for Business Book (The Conscious Entrepreneur)

Business & Consulting

ABOUT THE BOOK: This book is a self-help / personal growth business book for business owners, so the style should fit that audience. The book is a guide that uses mindfulness techniques and exercises and applies them to business. AUDIENCE: The audience for this book is entrepreneurs, whether they have any background or interest in mindfulness or spirituality. Ultimately the cover must have a vibe that is somewhere between business and loving life, softer than your traditional business book. VERY IMPORTANT: The cover must look good AND the main title must be readable when shrunk down to the size Amazon.com displays when people search on topics like "entrepreneurship". This is about 120 x 195 pixels. So you must show me the big image, and how the cover would look as the smaller image on Amazon. It's ok if the sub-title is not readable in the smaller size, but the main title does have to be readable. DESIGN NOTES: I want this to look like a softer business book. A blend between self-help and business, preferably without any kind of photography. I'm not totally against a photo, but it would need to really work for me to even consider it. I'm more interested in illustrations and designs, things that are more abstract. Definitely nothing gender-specific, so avoid anything with a man or a woman on it. I don't like Red, Magenta, or neon colors.

GENERAL NOTES: - I've uploaded a template from that shows the bleed and trim requirements, so please use that as a guide. - The spine may need to be expanded depending on the length of the book, so ideally you want to have a single-color spine that can be made wider easily. Basically, don't make a a design or picture wrapping around the book. The most important thing is that it needs to be bold, clean, simple, and easily readable even at a small scale.

Cannon -------------------------------------- BACK COVER: - Right now there is no specific text for the back cover yet, so please design the back cover using placeholder/lorem ipsum text. - We will provide the text for the back cover once we get to the final round, it is still being worked on. - The back cover should follow this flow: top contains a brief description, then room for quotes, and the bio and pic at the bottom. Also it will need room for cover credits, publisher logo and the ISBN barcode. - I have uploaded the picture of the publsiher's logo as it will need to be small on the base of the spine and on the back cover.

- This is for print-based book, front and back cover and spine, final measurements will be 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches - Attached is a template from the printing company with the bleed and trim guides, please use that.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Book cover starts at $299.
