Divine Inspired Book Cover Design
Budget: $750 – $1,500 AUD
PROJECT: Spiritual Book Cover Design
INITIAL SCOPE: Book 1 cover (5”x8” trim size)
POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL WORK: 5 more covers in series if we collaborate well ($165 each, $1000 total for all 6)
BOOK 1 SPECS:
∙ Title: What Would Krishna Say
∙ Subtitle: [TBD]
∙ Author: Dipika Wagle
∙ Trim Size: 5” x 8”
∙ Page Count: 175
∙ Need: Front cover, back cover, spine (full wrap design for print)
VISUAL CONCEPT:
A woman sitting in contemplative/writing pose. Her shadow shows TWO distinct silhouettes (representing her internal dialogue - Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine voices). Above/around her: Krishna’s radiant presence - could be glowing hands, peacock feather symbolism, flute symbolism, divine light, or subtle Krishna form. The overall feeling should be intimate, supported, divinely guided.
VIBE:
∙ Spiritual but accessible (not overly traditional/religious)
∙ Warm, comforting, wise
∙ Appeals to modern spiritual seekers, creatives, people navigating life struggles
∙ Color palette: Krishna blues/ Warm golds/ Jewel tones
But open to your input
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR:
∙ Designer who understands spiritual/devotional aesthetics
∙ Comfortable depicting Hindu deities respectfully (or symbolic representation)
∙ Strong typography skills (title needs to be compelling)
∙ Experience with print book covers (understanding spine/bleed requirements)
∙ Open to creative interpretation within the concept
DELIVERABLES FOR BOOK 1:
∙ Print-ready PDF (front/back/spine wrap with bleed)
∙ High-res files for ebook cover (front only)
∙ Editable source files
∙ 2-3 revision rounds included
BUDGET: $165 for Book 1
POTENTIAL FUTURE BOOKS:
∙ Book 2-3: Friendship/Relationship theme (modern couple with divine guidance) <more details below>
∙ Books 4-6: Secular versions of Books 1-3 (yin/yang or universal spiritual concepts instead of Krishna/Radha)
If Book 1 goes well, would love to continue partnership for remaining covers.
TIMELINE: 2 weeks for first draft of book 1 coverpage.
TO APPLY:
Please share:
∙ Portfolio samples (especially spiritual/book covers)
∙ Your process/timeline
∙ Any questions about the concept
∙ Confirmation you can deliver print-ready files for 5x8 trim
Looking forward to creating something beautiful together!
Book 2
Modern couple (contemporary clothing, relatable). Glowing divine hands on their shoulders - Krishna’s hands on one, Radha’s hands on the other. Hands are clearly divine (maybe jewelry, skin tone, symbolic elements like peacock feather near Krishna’s hand, lotus near Radha’s).
Visual elements:
∙ Main figures: Modern couple (diverse, contemporary)
∙ Divine hands: Glowing, ornate, clearly not human
∙ Subtle symbols: Small peacock feather, lotus, traditional jewelry on the hands
∙ Overall vibe: Guided, supported, divine partnership reflected in human partnership
