Fantasy Novel Book Jacket Design with Embossed Sickle Cells
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Greetings!
I'm looking for a talented designer to create a book jacket for me for the Kindle Direct Publishing platform. The book jacket will balance visual appeal with thematic elements, making the book jacket both eye-catching and meaningful.
Front Cover Design
Background Color: A deep, rich red to create a striking and bold visual impact with subtle, embossed sickle cells across the background, adding texture and a tactile element to the cover.
Title:
Text: “Boomerang”
Font: Gothic across the top, giving a slightly fantastical yet stylish feel.
Position: Placed at the top of the cover.
Central Image: Ethereal Gold and White Dress: The focal point of the cover. The dress should look almost luminous, with an ethereal glow, making it stand out.
Surrounding Clothes:
- **Flouncy Blue Frock:** Flowing, maxi, loose drape, almost shapeless.
- **Tailored Suit:** Sharp and professional
- **Camo Pants:** Rugged and military, adding a sense of toughness.
- **Blood-Spattered Scrubs:** Suggestive of a medical profession
- **Soccer Jersey:** symbolic of sports
- Arrange these items around the central ethereal dress in a visually balanced manner, making sure the dress remains the focal point.
Bottom of Front Cover
- Text: "Children"
- Font: Gothic font, consistent with the title, maintaining the overall aesthetic.
- Placed at the bottom of the cover.
- Author’s Name
2. Spine Design
Continuation of the deep red from the front cover.
Title and Author’s Name: Aligned vertically, using the same font.
A subtle continuation of the embossed design from the front cover, creating a cohesive look.
3. Back Cover Design
Same deep red color as the front and spine. Embossed Sickle Cells continued from the front, ensuring a seamless design.
Blurb: space for a brief summary or intriguing excerpt from the book, using a readable serif font in white (or other appropriate color) to ensure legibility against the red background.
Additional Elements: Space for a barcode, publisher's logo, and any necessary legal text, positioned at the bottom.
The primary mood of the book jacket should be that of fantasy and whimsy
In your application, please include examples of your past work, particularly in book jacket design.
Ideal Skills:
- Experience creating for Kindle Direct Publishing
- Strong graphic design skills
- Experience with embossing techniques
- Creativity in conveying themes through images
- Ability to design for specific dimensions
Please note that only applications with relevant samples of past work will be considered.
Thank you!
