Need a cover for a paperback book (and possibly ebook) about data and research, specifically public opinion polling.
The book is titled "Data in Decline" and the subtitle is "Why Polling and Social Research Miss the Mark". It focuses on two core themes - the drivers behind why political polls are no longer reliable, and what it would take to fix that.
Something that screams "data" or "information", appeals to consumers of public opinion polls, and is colorful with a fair amount of red and blue, would be ideal. Preferably something graphical that implies worsening quality
Its 6x9 trim and at 229 pages has a spine of approximately 0.516". Including bleed, the dimensions needed are roughly 12.77"x9.25"
The lower left corner of the back cover should be free of content so the barcode can be placed there.
Some content attached.
