Contest Ebook Cover + Site Header... Chance for 2 winners + BONUS!... Contest ends quickly!

Hello Designers!

I'm in need of an Ebook cover and a Site Header. This contest will pay $25 for each design ($50 total). The contest ends as soon as I select a design.

If you absolutely BLOW ME AWAY with your design, I will spiff you a $50 bonus.

Payment is via PayPal only.

I will provide EXCELLENT feedback. Plus, if the winning designer(s) really impress me, I have 8 more projects in the works, with three already nearing completion (software, services and ebooks).

The title of this Ebook is:

Triad Manifesto: A Tale of Three Cash Cows

This is the true story about how I made over $1-million on my hobby... And how everyone else can, too... if you know the SECRET!

The domain for this ebook is TriadManifesto dot com.

The Ebook cover must be provided as an image I can use on the Ebook PDF, as well as the image of it's likeness as a real book. I need it to scale well from thumbnail to 640 px. width.

The header should be no more than 120 px tall and allow scaling/cropping between 680 and 780 px.

I have not selected colors, fonts or any other design elements, so be creative. The whole purpose of this ebook is to demonstrate how you can create a business doing what you love most.

This is a 100% unique business blueprint. There is nothing else like it.

Things in in my sales letter that may help you:

"A Secret so simple, the gurus overlooked it."

"From NOTHING… to having three streams of reliable income from a business That You Love!"

"Wealth, Freedom, Security, and an interesting business you love can all be yours if you apply the Secret."

"...you will gain the Knowledge, Direction and Confidence that you need to succeed."

"If Everything Else Has Failed You… You need the Secrets Revealed in Triad Manifesto

Please do not use artwork or other assets that are not royalty free (or a copyright design). I will be asking.

Good luck! Nothing would give me more pleasure than to hit your account with $50 + $50!

Thank you,
David

P.S., I will send everyone who enters a reasonable design a copy of my Manifesto for your participation in this contest.

 

Here is my attempt.
I'm still unsure though.

 

Fatty,

Thank you, but it's not working for me. I'll start with the fonts. They don't say "Manifesto". The font you used feel more like a tropical motif.

The hill of green grass is interesting, but what happened to the cows? Did they take off for greener pastures?

Also, what about an author name?

Cheers!

Here is my entry:


Anything can be changed as needed.
The cow is from a free clipart site.

 

kolgames,

Thank you.

I'd love to see a cow that doesn't look like it wants to eat me =) It might be funny to see the cow(s) eating money.

- The title font is too compressed.
- Open up space between the top and the title (too cramped)
- Author name should be separate from the title (bottom, middle, etc.)
- Better representation of grass?

How is this?

 

Better. The cow still looks like it wants to eat me. You can loose the colon from the end of the title.

A circle around a dollar sign used as a branding mark might be kind of clever. I'm not sure you could make it look right on a white cow, though.

Fan-Freaking-Tastic!

Fun, light... ingenious. I love the buckets of cash. The fact that the cow has my general expression makes it all the better. Nice use of fonts. Most designers get carried away with too many fonts. This is clean.

I'd love to see a header from you with the same theme.

Please IM me with the source of the cow graphic.

Enthused!
David

 

Give me a few minutes, I'll post the banner and PM you afterwards.

Will,

Those are some good looking bovine! Source of the image?

How would you treat the spine? Author credits?

The manifesto is 25 pages... can you slim the book down?

I like the use of lowercase on the subtitle.

Thank you... I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

my try

 

here's mine hope you liked it

sorry about the type will add "s" on the "cow" if needed.

 

Your design has an interesting "western" look to it. What a nice surprise. Good job getting all of the cow legs in there. That must have been fun.

I'm going to have to look at it some more to see it it grows on me. I'm not even sure how to give you feedback yet.

Thanks for the effort... I will give more comments!!!

feedback on mine? so i can improve my design...thanks

 

Hi malditah,

Interesting design, but I'm not wild about it yet.

I like the background textures (cow spots?), but I'm having trouble with the color scheme. The green is shocking, and the gold is not working for me. I'd love to see it with an updated color scheme and the quote on top brought down to the bottom. It should not overshadow the title.

Thank you!
