    Large image to be created using exact width and height.
    Size: 2549wide * 3300high in pixels

    PSD file required once payment has been made. All rights to be
    transferred to me on payment in full.
    Text on own layer so it can be modified at a later stage.
    web2.0 text can be used like reflective text etc, only if it
    keeps the image easy to read and well presented.
    No gif's please. Just a static image.
    Nice clean vibrant colors.

    Text to be used:
    Main Headline (Big bold font):
    Discover How To Choose A Trading System That Works

    Sub Headline (Smaller font):

    Successful Business People Use Systems To Duplicate Their Efforts
    And Leverage Their Time Allowing Ultimate Time Freedom And
    Outstanding Results. Discover How You Can Do The Same With Your
    Trading Business Right Now.

    Pictures to be used:
    Financial based pics are best. Money etc. I don't mind if you
    use istockphoto etc for photo's. Its a money based product
    so be creative around that theme.

    Please see other contest I ran with lots of positive feedback.
    I always give as much feedback as possible to assist those who
    are helping me as I appreciate everyone's efforts.

    Good Luck.

    Hi Biruhato

    Thanks for that entry. I like the Dollar signs but I feel the book cover text is too small. I don't mind
    the subtitle being small but the title needs to be bigger.

    Also I'd love to have some other samples to compare with too so we should get some more entries
    shortly.

    Great effort though.
    Thanks

    Hi senorita - Thanks for your entry. There is a lot of white space there. Your apple
    reference (how to choose) is quite creative but I was thinking more along the lines of
    currency pairs and money.

    UPDATE:
    The final image will be a 3D rendered ebook from the image you create. The end
    result will be a small image like a normal ebook on a website, so the title needs to
    be visible.

    New Subtitle:
    Incredible Returns In 3 Minutes Per Day...Is This Possible?

    The reason for the change is all the entries seem to have very small text in
    the subtitle. Let's keep the subtitle short so it can be read.

    Sample Ideas:
    Go to www dot learncfds dot com to view some sample logo and headers that I like.
    This is one of my sites that is in the same field that I am targeting now so
    feel free to get creative off what you see there.

    Thanks again for your entries. I look forward to seeing some more creative
    entries.

    Birahato - That format works much better for me. The text on the spine needs to be padded out to
    filll the whole spine but so far you are looking by far the best. By the way, I love how clean your design is.

    I still want to keep the competition open to see if anyone has any other fresh ideas that might excite
    me.

    Saaz12 - THanks for your entry. It's not quite the image I had in mind.
    Funny with the Author and you reminded me that I need my name on the text
    of the doc. I thought the font used was a little plain.

    Mantero - Brilliant entries. Really like them all. There are components
    in each that I love. Your last entry really caught my eye as the orange
    border on the top and bottom really highlights the book in my opinion.
    Your choice of color combinations has worked well. I also think your
    text on third image stands out the best.

    Note to All: I need the words 'Instant Download' to be added on the image.
    Apologies for not mentioning this before hand. For example, Mantero, if you
    added Instand Download at the bottom right, that would work nicely.

    This competition will be closed in 9 hours. It's 9:30pm my time (Gold Coast,
    Australia) and I will choose a winner around 6:30am my time tomorrow.

    Good luck to all.

    Brilliant efforts and thanks again.

    Hi Mantero
    Thanks for that. The instant download isn't that visible. Perhaps a white circle with a dark
    color for the text would work best and perhaps a mouse pointer indicating to click on the
    image.

    You can add the author name. For now just put 'By John Smith' and I can change the
    text on the PSD file later.

    Thanks again for your speedy response.

    Mantero - Your design is kicking along nicely. No need to add anything
    else there unless something creative comes to mind.

    Biruhato - Spine has been padded out...great. Instant download and
    author has been added. Right on the money with everything there. Is
    it possible to see the words 'THAT WORKS' in a different complemantary
    color? Whilst I love your design I wouldn't mind seeing one other
    color introduced to break it up a little. Not sure what color would
    look best though.
