Island, water, mysterious looking. I have uploaded the Book 1 cover. I would like this book to look like it goes with Book 1.
Use the same fonts as Book 1.")

Cat has finally settled into her new town and is happy with life just the way it is. Until the day that her friend Evelyn shows up on her front step, with a recurring nightmare that began after they defeated Declan.
A dark stranger surrounded by fire and destruction tortures her every night, and in order to help her, Cat must discover the truth about the dark man and his origins.
This time, they must face a much older evil on new ground. With the addition of a new ally, the girls will stand against darkness together.
Will they be victorious, or will they fall to his power the same way so many others have?")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/94/94418/attachment_94418572 "The Client Want: An erupting volcano in a dark setting, with superimposed golden eyes looking out of the clouds. The climax of the book occurs beneath an eruption, and the antagonist is a shape-shifting monster distinguished by his golden animal-like eyes.
Description requested - The creature is a furred humanoid with a mixture of beast-like traits, similar to classic depictions of werewolves but not specifically wolf-like. It is capable of assuming human or animal shapes, but it's eyes don't change, remaining unnaturally golden.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/91/91310/attachment_91310775 "This is the third book in a series and I'm hoping to find a cover that is reproducible in a theme so that I can have the artist also redo the first two.
Imagery - The story line involves a nuclear threat, a mushroom cloud is an option but I don't want it to look like a post-apocalyptic book. The climax scene takes place at the Eiffel tower so that could be something in the background.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/90/90357/attachment_90357968 "The Client are looking for a book cover that compliments the original series and the brand of the \"Snow Blood\" series. We want a little bit of a thriller feel with a wolf, a moon and a man in the background with undefined features. (Basically nothing specific about his face)")

Somewhere there is another race, that brings these devices to explode, destroying the whole planets where they are on. Humankind has just days to find the origin of the enemy race or the home planet will be destroyed.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/87/87831/attachment_87831951 "The book revolves around a family that is trapped indoors due to a chemical weapon attack that has made the air unbreathable. The setting is roughly 1940s American South (think, Bible-belt).
The main character is a young woman (early 20s), so my idea for the cover was of a woman in Depression-era dress wearing a gas mask.
I recognize that writers are not the best at coming up with ideas for book covers so I'm totally open to other ideas, but I thought something that shows both the chemical weapons aspect and the time/place/protagonist would be important to attract readers.
If possible, I would like the layers used to create the cover so I can use them for additional marketing materials.")

I'm looking for innovative ideas ... the cover could be entirely text driven, or maybe it's focused on an image of Earth. Something unexpected but intriguing.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/90/90223/attachment_90223227 "Trying to capture forgiveness overcoming darkness, good conquering evil.
We would ideally like to see the lettering in white, and the background color either the orange of a prison jumpsuit or a blue denim.
We are interested in possibly seeing a dead tree with blackbirds, a few on a branch, in the lower third of the cover. (But this is not required; just an idea).")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/88/88916/attachment_88916821 "Dark enchanted forest that is both frightening and beautiful. Someone stalking in the very far background a cloakedbblack silhouette of a young man whose likeness you can not see. Thick tree roots that are entwined with long black thorns in the forefront and possibly words hidden in the soil. Words such as : I need to tell you a story, Dark, whispers, tragic, once upon a time, I wish, and or Dandelions. I imagine the colors to be mostly grays and black with maybe a shocking green for some or all of the leaves since you want to give appearance that the forest is dangerously alive. Of course I will leave interpretation to the artist. The mood is somber and awake a quiet since of fear and feeling unsure at whether you are safe. Also possibly a dandelion in there somewhere with the seeds floating away in the wind.")

Open to any concepts you may have, but it must read \"Halloween.\" Orange is an important colour to include.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/88/88336/attachment_88336665 "I would like to commission a cover for an e-book edition of my historical novel „Fortune’s Wheel“. The book was originally published in German, and the cover I am looking for now is for the English translation edition.
The e-book cover I am commissioning can be similar but doesn’t need to be. The typeface used is lelf_noir_du_mal and I would prefer it be used for the new cover as well. If you decide to employ a medieval-style drawing it should depict or include the “Wheel of Fortune” which was omnipresent in medieval art. However, I would prefer not to pay for image rights.
Recent covers of English language historical novels I find interesting and modern are for example “A Column of Fire” by Ken Follett or “Stormbird” by Conn Iggulden , but I am open to fresh ideas deviating from these or from my own traditional book designs. I do not, however, like photos of people in my covers.")
