SMART MONEY SECRET Cover Design

I’m ready to commission a high-impact cover for my upcoming finance book, “SMART MONEY SECRET.” The main title must dominate the layout in the same bold, elegant serif I’m already using, while the tagline—“No fluff, just practical steps to make your money work for you.”—should sit clearly beneath it in that very same font family for a seamless look.

Visual direction
• Colour palette: a charcoal or deep grey background, crisp white text, and tasteful green accents that hint at currency.
• Imagery: US dollar banknotes ($1, $50, and similar) arranged neatly along the bottom edge, paired with a subtle floral or vine flourish in the upper-left corner. Both elements carry equal weight; neither should overpower the other.
• Overall style: clean, well-balanced, and uncluttered. The cover needs to project value, stability, and straightforward money-management know-how.

Technical specifics
• Size: standard print cover dimensions (let me know if you need exact trim specs).
• Resolution: 300 DPI, CMYK for print.
• Final files:
– Print-ready PDF
– PNG or JPG optimised for online stores and marketing

Acceptance checklist
1. Main title is the most prominent element.
2. Tagline matches the serif font of the title.
3. Charcoal background, white text, green currency accents.
4. Banknotes at the bottom and a tasteful floral/vine detail top-left, both visible and balanced.
5. Delivered on time in the required formats, ready to upload to KDP/Ingram without further tweaks.

If you’re comfortable working in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop and can meet the above criteria, I’d love to see your concept and timeline.
