Meant to Eat

Lindsay M. Reinholt

I am a certified health coach, fitness instructor, and nutrition expert who helps people overcome the obstacles that they just can't seem to surpass to become the healthiest and happiest they have ever been. Check out my website http://www.lindsayreinholt.com to learn more about me, see my logo/branding, etc.

My target audience is primarily women, in their 20s-40s, who are frustrated by their weight and inability to control themselves around food. They are looking for a final solution that includes health and enjoyment of food. These are women that love Pinterest, fashion, and cooking, but are also ambitious in the home or in the workplace. Brands of inspiration for this audience include Kate Spade, H&M, J. Crew, Apple, and Anthropologie.

I am looking for an eye-catching book cover for my book Meant to Eat: A Practical Guide to Developing a Healthy Relationship with Food.

The cover needs to be visually attractive, even artistic, but also on-point with the message of the book. The main message I want the cover to communicate is: health and enjoyment of food can coexist, being healthy can be delicious, you can seek health, but still love food and enjoy decadence, etc.

Preferences: white background (what I am drawn to, but not 100% necessary), hand-drawn/script/typography fonts, bold colors, beautiful aesthetics.

Books I like the look of: We Laugh We Cry We Cook by Becky Johnson and Rachel Randolph , Eating on the Wild Side by Jo Robinson, The Forest Feast by Erin Gleeson, The Year of Cozy by Adrianna Adarme, The World on a Plate by Mina Holland, Cooked by Michael Pollan

Pinterest board with inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/lreinholt/book/

Image ideas for front cover: strawberry with chocolate dripping off of it, tasting spoon with amuse bouche, arms hugging food, food with bites taken out, colorful food icons/illustrations -- These are just ideas, but definitely not necessary!
