Book Cover Design Brief
Book is about how diets that provide brain nutrients have created great advances in civilization throughout history. See the back cover text for a more complete description. Audience is college-educated women, ages 18-32. Use the two images provided, but if you have another Leonardo da Vinci image or other Renaissance image you think would work, feel free to try it. You can change the images in any way you like (color, size, sharpness, etc). If the seppia color is hard to work with, try another color (see the grey). Focus on the front cover. We will most likely be using the rear cover that is uploaded.

Requirements
Must have
- Leonardo da Vinci drawings. Supplied text. Back cover is supplied.
Nice to have
- Feel free to use different fonts that convey the feeling of modernity (e.g. Bodoni MT) and the Italian Renaissance (e.g. Viner hand). Also, if you want to incorporate graffiti text/street art into it, that might be a attention-grabbing juxtaposition of ancient/modern art. See these links:

- I prefer the ISBN in the bottom right corner of the back cover.
- I would prefer only one Leonardo image on the front cover (unless you make two work).
- Vegetables are generally not brain foods. If you’d like to use foods on the cover, here is a list of the actual brain foods to work with. The primary brain fuels (in alphabetical order) are these: Barley, Clams, Eggs, Egg pasta, Fish, Flaxseed, Liver, Mozzarella, Nuts, Red Peppers.
- If you want to try some words, here are some "trendy" brain foods that are more easily recognized as text than images: ossobuco, pasta all’uovo, quiche, pâté, miso, quinoa, hummus, spätzle, caprese
