Looking for an experienced book cover designer for a business/thought leadership title. Book Title: Creating Legacy in a Distracted World Framework: Eleven Laws (the numeral "11" is central to the design) Genre: Business / Productivity / Entrepreneurship Target Reader: Entrepreneurs, founders, and thought leaders Design Direction: Minimalist, McKinsey-style.

The main title sits below in clean white bold sans-serif. Think Deep Work, Essentialism, Good to Great — that register of authority and restraint. Specific Requirements: - Color palette: Deep navy (#0D2B5C), clean white, accent red (#C8102E) — maximum 3 colors total - Typography: Bold geometric or grotesque sans-serif (Gotham, Futura, Montserrat, or equivalent) — one family, two weights max - No gradients, drop shadows, glow effects, or decorative elements - No author portrait on the front cover - High contrast — must be legible as a thumbnail at 100px wide Deliverables: - 3 initial concepts for review - Final print-ready PDF (CMYK, 300 dpi, 0.25" bleed) - Digital RGB version (optimized for Amazon and web) - 3D book mockup render (hardcover flat-lay and spine) - Source files (AI or INDD preferred) - Two rounds of revisions included Format: Standard trade hardcover, 6" × 9" Please include 2–3 samples of minimalist business or nonfiction book covers you have designed. Designers with experience in the business/thought leadership genre are strongly preferred. Budget and timeline are open to discussion — quality and fit with the brief are the priority.
