Hello I need a book cover (a bit serious, colorful, genuine and classy) for an book which does not sell because of its unprofessional cover: http://learnem.com/ebook.php (Quickly learn programming in C) Terms: - You need to include existing information on the current cover. - Please do not use copyrighted material and logo makers. The cover needs to be original. - Preferred format is Photoshop PSD with the size 8.26" x 11.69", or a vector graphics (Adobe or Corel). - You can submit as many designs as you want. - Payment is through paypal - Contest will be closed in 48 hours and the winner is selected afterward and announced here. Payment: - $20 through Paypal - Optionally I may order 1 more design for $10 for the other book (similar to the first one with different title and main cover photo) Thanks.
Hello, Thanks for participating. Once again I like to mention that this is a real book. having said that, I find it quite simple for a book (in comparison to other books in this or other fields). I like the design these guys use for their books: http://products.sitepoint.com/ You may also see Amazon for similar books (but please do not copy, specially from books in the same field as it can immediately be tracked by colleague authors).
Hello everyone, Some feedback on the posted designs : Farhanitrate: I like the text design (specially the middle box), but back ground color and lack of any graphics is the drawback. Debong: Fonts and sizes need a bit more thought (for example in the header sizes of the two lines could be different, in the main title font types can be altered a bit). The cyan color is dominating too much and I am not quite sure whether it is a good match to the brown theme. Natali: I like your deign. It is simple but beautiful. However font size of header and footer (web development series) could be a bit smaller? Can we also make it a bit vibrant by (carefully) introducing more colors? Ajmalhuzz: I like the design with the condition that, that graphics in the middle is original. Could we add a bit to vibrance of the cover by carefully introducing some colors or more graphics elements? Farrel Kim: I like the colors very much and also the design. Your design is missing the company name and publication series. can you give me an insight on how you will modify the design in case I order a cover for the other book (web design using html)? Vebtools: The text effects are overkill, the author box is not serious.
Guys, could you also see this thread. I like a few of the designs very much. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1222552
Totalx90, beautiful design, I like the C very much and I hope that photo is not copyrighted. Could you please PM me the origin of the photo? Also could you comment on how you will design a second cover (for the wenb design book I have on that website)? Also please remove the logo- (it won't be on books). Is it customary to have that "copyrighted material" on the cover? (I am not sure). Thanks.
This contest is closed. I am waiting totalx90's response to my questions before I decide on the results.
Hello - The winner is totalx90 and I will contact him to proceed with the remaining.

I like to buy his design for $10 if he accepts the offer. Kim, please contact me if you like the offer. I appreciate everyone's efforts and thanks for participating in the contest.
