Contest Brief

Hello from St. Pete, Florida!
Want to help make a dream come true? My FIRST SOLO BOOK is arriving and needs to look her creative best!
(I've contributed to 7 books, two more with publication in December 2018.)

Seeking the SPINE DESIGN and the FRONT book cover (flat and 3D versions) for a 6" x 9" softcover, non-fiction book; for use in an Author's Press Kit to be mailed (Back text not available now.) ***Need graphics files by November 13--my family's lucky number! ***

If you are the "winner" I will pay for the stock photo. I just need to know the amount in advance.

Questions? Please send to LoreRaymond1313@gmail.com
More info Amazon Author page>> amazon.com/author/loreraymond

MUST HAVE THESE Elements IN THE DESIGN:
1) Book title:

WRITING MEDICINE
The Must-Have Guide for Your Hero's Journey to Inner Healing

2) Author name: Lorraine Raymond

3) Leave room for a Foreword to be added later.

4) Spine design to include:: Book title, author, publisher's logo (attached)

*Important Notes:
* Book to be launched at "North America's largest literary event," the Assoc. of Writers & Writing Programs, March 26, 2019, in Portland, OR; moderating/presenting a panel with the same name as the book, WRITING MEDICINE, chosen from 1,700 proposals.

* My next two books will use the "Must Have Guide" phrase so I'm looking at a design for future visual branding; I offer the possibility of LOTS more design work!

Ideal reader: Women 40+; cover needs to have a feminine feel but not to exclude men

My passions: Travel, writing, east-meets-west; mandala, swirls; colors of green/purple/orange; open to designer's suggestions.

Seeking an icon/image i.e. a mandala that can be used for the 13 chapter title pages and other interior book design elements; my logo is the purple open heart (attached) as my branding is "Lore Raymond Opens Hearts and Inspires Action."

    It's disrespectful to end a contest 4 days early with no warning, especially without announcing it in your description. Contest holders that do this find they don't get to see the best of the best, because they did not wait for it. It takes a lot of time to create quality work. There are artists that were working on this project, and now their beaucoup hours have been for not.

      My apologies Beverly L. I felt my choice was clear and rather than other designer spending MORE TIME when I was certain of my choice felt respectful.--not disrespectful.

    Yes, take the publisher's logo off. What about putting the lotus image between the book title and my name? Then, we're done. What NEXT? Do I click on AWARD to your images? I do want the book cover without the label though. Do we talk via email for the files?
