Design 5 Unique Book Cover Concepts

Seeking a talented book cover designer to create 5 distinctive cover concepts and rough sketches for the book "Skating Up Hill" by Tristan Tonks. The selected concept will be further developed into the final book cover design.

About the Book:
"Skating Up Hill" explores how to find stability and contentment amid constant change and uncertainty. Rather than offering rigid prescriptions, it presents a conversational framework grounded in unchanging fundamentals: human connection, energy, space, and love. The central message is paradoxical: stop struggling against life's currents and learn to flow with them instead. This approach requires both boldness and humility—recognising your agency while acknowledging you're part of something larger.
Key Principles to Convey in the Cover Concepts:

- Embracing change and uncertainty as inevitable parts of life
- Finding stability through cultivating your intuition and inner compass
- Recognising opportunities and threats to make sound decisions
- Seeing through manipulation and false narratives
- Unlocking your potential in an unpredictable world

Deliverables:
- 5 unique book cover concepts and rough sketches
- Brief explanation of the concept and visual elements for each

Please review the attached original cover design from Tellwell as a reference. The new concepts should be completely distinct from this.

If selected, there will be an opportunity to expand the project and develop the final cover design. Delivering creative, eye-catching concepts that embody the book's core principles is critical.
