Contest Brief

"OK" Folks I paid "EXTRA" for 5 more Days to get Your Best Cover submitted.

I have been the Star but when I leave and come back they are like I never did.

Come on I know You can do it.

Why do I have to keep telling You People "EVERY" Step to get a Cover? Are You all Really Graphic Designers?
I want to see Color, Different Fonts, Different style of fonts.
Just because the Title is Sad or Depressed doesn't mean to make it all one Color. More Samples for "ALL" of You!


"ut still using PEOPLE" None of Your covers make Me look at it and go "WOW".
Use "COLOR" but still make Your picture Sad, Depressed Not looking at lake showing Me their back.
Reach down and pull the Rabbit out of the Book !
"DO NOT show Me Books on a table leaning, "(this a "COVER" Contest).

This "MUST" be done at choosing of the winner.
12.94812" x 9.25" overall.... hope that helps

"EVERYONE" look at this :

Play with different fonts, font color, Original Photos or Free,
"NOBODY" is even making the Author's Name stand out with different fonts, colors,

3. Use Original Photos , Paid Photos ( There is on the Photo where it came from. Illustrated, Designed by You.

REMEMBER"" Author: Brad Nichols
Before You start the Contest The following must be met.
I know You are all working Hard this Book Cover, but I missed a mistake in the Project name. (?)
Title : Do Bad Days Happen?
The rest still applies.

need a Graphic Designer to make a Book Cover. This Novel is about People Having Bad Days, worse then the Reader. It has Small Separate Stories. You choose a Story that sounds good to You. It will take You away from Your current struggles for awhile. and just simply relax and enjoy.

The Photos I put are "SAMPLES ONLY" ! You need to get a photo Your self. It can not be copied photos. There are to many sites that have photos.
I forgot to put the Author. It will be Mystery Author. Come on who wants the money ? Simply "WOW" Me. Get creative. You still have time to enter a Cover.
So far No one is doing as the Job Description says.
( "The Winner will have to be able to put the Spine and Back Cover") The Back Cover text will provided by Me.


Here is a good sample cover : https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/the-read-down/female-superheroes ("GREAT COLORS, but "DON'T make the person You are using to be Happy, make them look like they had a rough Day.

    Instead of looking down, the depressed person should look up desperately at the sky as he is asking, do bad days happen?

    Sorry to say that, but it's hard to understand what you're looking for graphically. The best entries and color choices are rejected or rated very poorly (although the taste is not discussed, any experienced graphic designer can confirm this). On the other hand, over 80% of the images used do not state their source or are stolen from the internet. Good luck with your contest. I regret the time and work invested
