Contest Brief

I am looking for a talented graphic designer who can help create a book cover for my non-fiction piece. The main aim of the book is to impart life skills to teen boys, so the design should be visually appealing to this demographic, while still being attractive to adult readers.

Key points:
- The cover should be appealing to both teen boys and adults
- The design should resonate with the target audience and be attractive
- The book is focused on life skills for teen boys
- Dark Navy works well with this audience - orange to contrast
- use ideas from competitor books withour replicating

Ideal Skills:
- Graphic Design
- Understanding of target audience
- Experience in book cover design, particularly for non-fiction
- Ability to create engaging and original graphics
- Good communication skills to understand and incorporate my vision.

Book title: Life skills for teen boys unleashed
- please highlight "life skills"
- "unleashed" can be understated yet supported by a grapgic of unleashing (maybe a band? zipper?)
- use graphics that are targeted to the audience
- looking for an attention grabbing cover

Book subtitle: 7 simple steps to forge solid friendships, master cooking & cleaning, uncover career planning hacks & more for a confident transition into manhood
- please highlight the number 7
- please highlight "master cooking", "career planning hack" and "solid friendships"

Pen name: Sarah Wheatly
- small and understated font

    @printmedia335, could you please amend the following for entry #132 :
    - remove money related graphics, leave only the bag of money in the bottom left corner
    - please add graphics in the same popping colours of a calendar or clock, sports equipment (running shoes or dumb bells or tennis rackets, a video game controller, a smart phone, a spray bottle (for cleaning), food (either hot steaming bowl or slize of pizza), possibly also an instrument (guitar or drums)
    - for the subtitle: align the number 7 (highlighted as it is) to the first line of text so it reads as one sentence, highlight the words "solid friendships", "master cooking" and "career planning hacks"
