e-book/book cover for violin teaching book

Virtual Sheet Music Inc.

Virtual Sheet Music Inc. is a leading web publishing company providing products and services for musicians worldwide, specialized in high quality digital sheet music in PDF file format.

We are working to publish a series of books and e-books teaching how to learn the major classical instruments such as the violin, the piano, etc. and we have our first book ready for publication dedicated to the violin.

We are now looking for designers helping us to design the cover and back pages for this series of books. Any book of course will be different, but we would like to have a basic template and style to use through the series. The same design style will be also applied to other media contents such as DVD covers, CD covers, labels, and other promotional material

This contest is focalized on the creation of the cover and back page of our first book dedicated to the violin which title is “Basics of Violin Playing” and which subtitle is “based on the Italian violin school”. The book is composed by 136 pages.

Please, read the requirements below for further details.

We look forward to see you creative submissions!

Target audience are music lovers, music beginners, children and music teachers. The books will target both adult amateurs as well children, so the design should be pertinent to both audiences (nothing too funny and nothing too serious).

The book will be created as an e-book first, then printed, so the original page format is the standard US letter (8.5” x 11” or 215.9 mm × 279.4 mm), but we would like to have material ready for a possible publication at 8” x 10” trim size.

Please, look at the attached "requirements_details.pdf" file for detailed requirements and technical specifications.
