Design needs
Hand-drawn style illustrations of dogs. The book content has dogs, a pond, ducks, and an apple tree, if the designers would like to play with any of those images. Colors could include yellow, red, blue, and green. In this book, the dogs are also on a path to become legends. Paw prints, paw prints down a path, the barn and the apple tree are also images that could be used on the cover which tie into the book content.
NOTE: The author is including some reference images that are line drawings with a bit of color that appeal. Please do NOT use these images directly, as they are copyrighted by the artists. But please do use them for inspiration.
What to avoid
- Please avoid stock images that readily show the subject’s race or gender.
- Stock imagery must not exceed US $49.00
- This is NOT a children’s book. It is a business book, so the illustrations could be light and whimsical, but geared toward adults, rather than children.
