    Hey all!

    I'll pay 10 for the person who creates (and posts here) a cover for my eBook called "Killer Blackhat Secrets 2".

    Things to include on the cover:
    * Name of the book (Killer Blackhat Secrets 2)
    * Name of the author (Bryan O'Neil) - preferably on the bottom end of the cover
    * (Optional - ) A package symbolizing the additional software pack (toolkit) that ships with the book.

    Please post your image here or email it to . When chosen as winner, I will pay you via PayPal immediately, after which you'll send me the source file (psd or any other if photoshop is not the program that you use).

    Contest runs for 12 hours maximum but I reserve the right to end it sooner if a great entry is posted. I will let you know in this thread once the content has ended.

    Thanks!
    Bryan

    alex.ohc, few notes:
    * I'd like it to look more like a book rather than a notepad.
    * The toolkit illustration should be next to the book, not painted on the book's cover. This can also be a CD/DVD illustration, rather than an actual box.
    * You've used an image that is clearly not original (google images, first page for 'blackhat'). This cannot be done as it's against copyright rules.

    spbx, I've replied to your email. Professional design but same problem as above - usage of copyrighted content.

    Looking forward to other submissions! (I'll be online all the time for the next 12 hours so whenever a great submission comes in, I will likely pick the winner without delay!)

    Just an update - currently technoguy is a mile ahead from the other two submissions! (even though I'll need some really tiny changes)

    I'll keep the competition open for another hour or two, after which the deal will be sealed with technoguy - given that there won't be any better submissions within this time.

    Competition is closed and mantero is the winner! Congrats!

    technoguy, I actually really liked your design as well and will very likely be contacting you in the future for some other quick design tasks that I need completed.

    Thanks to everybody for participating!
