Hi All,
What you'll basically be bidding on is the book cover design for an upcoming published Murder Mystery Comedy that's coming out next Summer. The book is titled "Dying for a Date". The characters name is Laurel, and here is her background info:
Short 5'4ish
Reddish Brown Hair, chin length, underneath bob
Blue eyes
A little thick, and curvy (but not fat... like I said below, think Christina Hendricks)
Big boobs
Age 39
Not lavish clothing, pretty casual and contemporary style
Some other covers that I like are: http://www.amazon.com/Shamus-Green-Room-Caruso-Mysteries/dp/0061284874/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251176224&sr=1-1. Another example would be: http://www.amazon.com/Because-She-Can-Bridie-Clark/dp/0446697575/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251174269&sr=8-1. At least this brings out the comedy more... so maybe somewhere in the middle.
What we're looking for is a simple Vector art with Silhouettes as the characters, much like the first links creative direction. We did a business card a while ago that looked like this: [login to view URL] We like this color scheme perfectly, and we also like the kind of style/feel of it. However we want to change the concept up a bit so it shows this:
The lady should be a little distraught looking, while she gazes over her dead date (body on the floor), holding the flowers in his hand straight up. So basically the dead body on the floor, and the women (the lead character), with her hands on her hip.
If you do caricatures, we would love to see your proposal for this as well. We like this cover quite a bit: [login to view URL] If you were able to convey this type of cover story in this type of art, that would be exceptional.
We would also like the characters silhouette to be the focal point of the website design, so if someone lumps this in as well that would be great, or has ideas off the top of their head that would be great as well.
You name will be features on the back of the book cover along with the website for the whole world to see! Please send your conceptual vision for this project, along with the link to your portfolio. We'd like some creativity, but really are just looking for execution on the idea we have.
Thanks, and good luck!
