Nonfiction Immune System Book Cover Design

Project Title:
Book Cover Design for Nonfiction Book on the Human Immune System

Project Overview
I am seeking an experienced freelance book cover designer to create a
professional front and back cover for a nonfiction book focused on
understanding and caring for the human immune system. The book is written
for general readers and presents science in an accessible, practical, and
human-centred way.

The design should appeal to an intelligent mainstream audience rather than
an academic or textbook market.
