Contest Brief

Hello Freelancers! I wrote a book called:

The 7 Critical Principles of Effective Digital Marketing

The book is about (you guessed it!) Digital Marketing!!

I need a book cover designed for it. I had a designer that I usually work with and whose work I really love create a cover but nothing is standing out to me.

I want someone who can create something that is eye-catching, brandable and creative.

Remember, the book cover is the #1 thing that sells the book! Please get creative with your ideas, imagery, etc.

Browse through the business section of the kindle store and figure out what titles are the best: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kindle-Store-Business-Investing/zgbs/digital-text/154821011/ref=zg_bs_nav_kstore_3_157325011

The actual text of the cover needs to be:

The 7 Critical Principles of Effective Digital Marketing
By: Kasim Aslam

    Hi Everyone! Here's some feedback that I have given out consistently: Remember that the majority of people are browsing sites and looking for books by looking at thumbnail images. Here's an example: https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=digital+marketing - the book cover needs to look really good even as a small thumbnail. This means it can't be too busy but also needs to have some "grabbing" element that helps it stand out from the rest.

    Some more context about my target market: These are professional digital marketers. I don't want to give the impression that this is a "for beginners" type book. Think about concepts like getting found, being seen, being heard, being noticed, a need in a hay stack, a needle in a stack of needles, an oasis in the desert, standing out from the crowd, shining a light on something, etc. etc.

      No other details at this time. The cover is for an ebook and a paperback print copy.
