Resumen del concurso

UPDATE: I have decided to go with one of the designers, do not enter the contest / submit entries anymore! Thank you!

Design a front cover. This is for an ebook I will be publishing soon [Amazon KDP] and I will also be getting print copies [6x9, regular size].

The title will be "The American Nightmare", author is "Minna Kay".

Background: The primary background of this will be black, dark grays are also okay, you can get creative with this. My vision was dark background (fade to black), if you want to incorporate the American flag and have that fade to black, that would also be cool.

Pictures: I bought a picture of Obama, Hillary Clinton, GW Bush and some candidates, I would like them arranged in a slightly circular way, if you think it would work. For example, flip the picture of Obama, have him near the left, then Bush facing left (you can take his hand out, the finger pointing is unnecessary), some candidates in the middle, have Hillary on the right so it's like they're facing different directions but in a circular way. Would be great if you knew how to add some depth to each image so not only do they mesh together (right now as is, they are totally different style photos) but they give off a settled in feeling with some depth. Besides Obama, Bush and Clinton, the candidates I have pictures of are Cruz, Trump and Bernie, I guess in that order from left to right is okay or you can flip Trump and put him on the right so Bernie's in the middle (I'm not partial, just the way the photos are I think that Cruz, Bernie and flipped Trump would be a good order, not sure) . These three should be a bit smaller, they're full-body pictures...since Cruz has been out for so long, it is okay if he is smaller or if you want to keep him out, just whatever you think is good and isn't too overwhelming. Also, Bernie's picture is super unclear, I'm sorry, but if you can find another free/public commercial use picture of him, you can substitute whatever or try to make it look more clear.

Update: I'd like the people to be edited out of their current backgrounds. I'd also like for the people to be edited so that they are all a similar style, with a cool effect like slightly sketchy (not totally a drawing but kind of like how Obama's picture looks now ...if you look at Obama's picture, it looks unreal and I like that effect). It can have any effect you think would work. If I wasn't clear, the people have to be separate from their current backgrounds.

Sorry Ted Cruz has a pit stain, but that's technically his fault and not mine. You can either not use him or edit it and call less attention to it, right?

Please incorporate the title with the image so that it looks more unified. And with a non-cheesy font. I trust your taste.

I know there are a lot of pictures...you can definitely swap some out for a public domain (?) one, if you find a free one that's better suited...anyway, there are lots of pictures / people but I hope that you can edit them to look like they're the same "style" (sorry I don't know any graphic lingo) so that they mesh well and don't look splotchy...obviously the Bush, Obama, Clinton would look more sinister, fading to the black background / etc. (that's the point). Please make it as clear and crisp (?) as possible

Needs to be compatible with Amazon and the usual 6x9 print book size.

Comentarios del empleador

“Sanja was literally the best, no competition. I was so nitpicky about details and she worked *SO* hard to accommodate my every need. The end product is SO professional. I needed a book cover for my Amazon ebook and print versions. She presented really high quality work. She provided everything I could possibly need and even walked me through the process. She really went above and beyond from the very beginning to the end. Hire Sanja287, she is the BEST. ”

      Hey AnaCZ! :) Thank you very much! I used the files that Author provided and in description it says that she bought photos (And as I know photos bought on stock sites can be used in book cover design). So, I think that I am clean about it. I don't know how exactly to check is there copywrited material. Do you? And thank you for a compliment again :)
