    Summary: a family-friendly book front + back cover, ready for use on Kindle and CreateSpace.com

    Detail: I have a series of books on parenting and children that will be released soon. Each book will list a number of ways to handle specific parenting tasks. As an example title "30 ways to be a good parent". The books will be released on kindle and on createspace. I would like a professional ebook front & back cover to be designed which can be title edited etc. for each applicable book in the series. The basic layout of each book will be the same, and as such I am looking for a general basic design. The resulting front & back cover design will need to be:

    1. Ready for kindle (this is very straightforward - a single high res jpg at about 1600x1000 resolution - front page needed only)
    2. Ready for createspace (see https://www.createspace.com/Products/Book/CoverPDF.jsp for details) *it is important that you understand these details*. Back cover is needed here also.
    3. With surrounding "salesy" text/images as needed (the cover needs to sell the book!)
    4. In an editable format which is easy to re-use for me in the future (PSD for example)

    5 Points the book's front & back cover should say to your target audience:

    * We will help you
    * Light & airy, not heavy and downcast
    * Children are the focus
    * Parents are the focus also, we'll help you (again ;-)
    * You will get quality information

    Besides this, I would like to use a sales byline like "Helping You Stay Sane" or "Keeping You Sane".

    Rules: All content should be family friendly/highly moral. No photo's are to be used. Cliparts may be ok but only if you have full proof that these cliparts can be used by you and by us in the way you have used them and in the way that we will use them as specified here. The sales byline is to be mentioned (but can be changed if you think you have a better one). The title, author, ISBN, etc. items should be easy to edit. 100% original content only. These items will likely be trademarked. Payment will be via PayPal to winning designer.

    Sent me your ideas/proposals.

    Byline: ("Keeping you sane" or similar) - this will become the actual title of the series, so you can work that into your design.

    The format was specified above.

    Re: deadline, note that if I see something I really like I may choose a design and end the contest early, so it pays off to enter early!

    I am cancelling this contest due to no participation. If someone had already been working on a good design, please sent me a private message.
