Blog that offers science-based advice about natural and alternative acne treatments.
What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?
Soon to be published book in need of cover.
The purpose of the book is to offer science-based advice on natural acne treatments. While there are many natural acne treatment books on the market most of them are based on alternative and unscientific methods or focus only on a single aspect (such as diet). My book offers a holistic solution that's completely based on scientific research.
Book title: Clear for Life
Subtitle: Scientifically-proven holistic acne treatment program
Author name: Seppo Puusa - doesn't need to be prominent on the design.
The main points I want the cover to communicate are, in the order of importance:
- Long-lasting results
- Based on scientific research
- Complete/holistic program
- Natural, drug-free methods
Target audience:
- Primarely women, perhaps 60/40 to 70/30 split between women and men
- Age range 20 - 40
- Urban
- Interested in natural health, probably learns about natural health from magazines and popular TV shows
- Health conscious
- Has visited dermatologists countless times, but is frustrated because everytime she's sent away with a presccription for antibiotics that stop working 2 weeks after the prescription is over
- Values science
Deliverables:
- Paperback cover (cover, spine and back)
- Editable PSD or InDesign file for adding back cover copy
Back cover copy
- I'm still working on it. You can add about 200 words of placeholder lorem ipsum and about 10 words for headline
- Please include a small about the author area to the back cover. For now you can fill it with about 100 words of lorem ipsum. No need to include author image.
Book size:
- 6x9 inches
- Spine: about .62 inches (this is liable to change little bit as I don't know the final page count yet, so please make sure the designs allow some room for the spine width to change)
Misc points:
- Please make sure the cover also works on low resolution, black and white Kindle devices
- I prefer clean design
- You can use stock images, but please make sure their licensing fees are reasonable. I'm not looking forward to paying additional $200 to license a stock image.
- Please refer to Amazon cover specifications for barcode placement, etc: https://www.createspace.com/Product
