Design Challenge #6

For this challenge we designed the cover of a book. This project was taken from a live design contest from 99designs.com. The team was given a prepared Photoshop document and 30 minutes to complete the assignment. Stock imagery from Adobe Stock was allowed.

Description of the organization and its target audience:
Grow Team is a national quality assurance and contracting agency that helps small business owners find the best technical resources for their ecommerce businesses

Description:
We are designing a new cover for second business book, following the success of our original title “30-minute guide to hiring a great online marketing partner”, which was an Amazon best-seller. Attached is a brief with the text we want on front and back cover. The book is a 6” x 9” book with a very narrow spine (no room for spine text). I’ve attached a copy of the original design which we really liked in terms of white space usage. We want a new graphical look but staying with clean, professional lines. We are open to the use of images as well, but want something a little different than last time.

Required Text:
Is Your Ecommerce Business at Risk?
A CEO’s 10 minute brief on protecting your revenue and making sure you have the right partners
Authors: Derek Preston and Brian Moaddeli
