Maelezo ya Shindano
I'd like to see some design ideas (comps) for a book cover. The working title is 'The Rees Approach' and the subtitle is 'A beginner's guide to making money in the stock market.' The author is Christopher Rees. The title may change and the author's name might be shortened to Chris Rees. I want the front cover design to include ten to twenty crazy little cartoon elements. I have included a file with a rough mock-up of the elements. This will be a design contest. Choice of font, layout, and creativity will be important. Also, no bleed to the printing edge. I'm just looking for creative ideas right now. Thank you.
Add on 1: Also, open to ideas without the elements. I don't want to limit your creativity too much.
Add on 2: Also, visit the Rees Capital Management website. Maybe some merit to keeping branding/look similar.
Add on 3: One of the problems from a design point of view Is the word APPROACH is too long. REES is too short. And THE just doesn't fit anywhere. I've played with different titles but APPROACH is it. It's my opinion that the REES must match the width or half the width of APPROACH and THE minimized and placed above. Or, THE gets stacked sideways to the R in REES and both get sized to the width of APPROACH. My thoughts are not specific to any designs. It's a typography/ graphic design problem caused by my word choice and name. I do like the boldness/look of the front cover of The Bourne Identity (the ones with the single bullet and the broken glasses.) Probably too much information. Feel free to break rules. Also, I have awarded five stars to some submitted designs already because there is something I really like about them even if I can't pinpoint exactly why. They may be of interest to you as a guide or inspiration.
Add-on 4: It's time to think differently. Too many designs are variations of the same theme. I have no interest in stock photos, cliched upward pointing stock charts, bulls, or bears. The art direction must fall into one of five groups. The front cover must be bold, direct, and punchy, or themed on my website look, or solve the elements design, or be something completely different or some blend of them all. The designs ranked five stars are excellent examples. In my opinion, if anything is going to beat the top designs it will be something very special and completely different.
Add-on 5: One design concept that interests me, that I haven't seen yet, is a design based on elements of a jigsaw puzzle. The book talks about solving the jigsaw puzzle of investing. The cartoon elements are the jigsaw puzzle pieces.
I'm already sorry there can only be one winner. I wish the $200 could go to the top three. Good luck and thank you for your submissions.
