Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Information for the business: My name's Dane Cobain and I'm an indie author
Industry: Entertainment
Design details: I'll be publishing the book through CreateSpace. The final page count is yet to be determined but it's likely to be around 285 pages on cream paper at 5" x 8". I can give you the final template closer to the book's release.
I'd like to work on this in two parts - so we'll get the concept/design right now and I'll carry out the cover reveal, and then there may be some minor tweaks closer to release just to get it to fit to the right width for the spine. I can pay these separately if needed.
The book is called 'Driven' and is a playful murder mystery in which a self-driving car is used as a murder weapon.
Note that the deliverables would be both the single front cover and the full wraparound including the spine and the rear cover. I tend to like designs which span both the front and the back cover - but again, I'll discuss this with the right applicant.
Target audience: Adults
Number of pages needed: ~285
Ideas for the visual style: I'll discuss this with the winning applicant.
Things to avoid: Faces. I hate faces on covers.
Preferred colors: It'll be printed in matte and should fit in with the rest of my covers.
Where the design will be used: Print, web and on promo materials.
Extra notes: Please apply with some examples of your previous book cover designs and with a quote for the completion of all of the work including the design and the tweaks to get it ready for print.
I'd prefer to work with an indie/freelance designer like myself, preferably one who's already experienced in the indie publishing world, and to build up a long-term partnership. I always have new covers of my own that need designing, and I also ghostwrite books for clients and may be able to hook you up with them on a regular basis. I'd also like to be able to credit you etc. in the acknowledgements.
I've attached samples of my existing covers so you can get an idea of what I like. Looking forward to working with you!
