Book Cover Design Brief

Attached is the rough sketch of an idea that I had for a cover. It's supposed to be a vehicle being left on the side of the road with a flat tire as a man walks down the road in the distance during a rainstorm. The license plate reads "JST MY" before it gets cut off, short for the book title, "Just My Luck," and the overall feel of the book cover should have a kind of down-on-my-luck feel to it.

The image needs to be in black and white. What I had in my head was something that looked almost cartoonish, or like it was drawn in colored pencils (as opposed to a more realistic, photograph-type feel), but I'm open to whatever you want to submit.

Here is the description of the book, if that helps to give you an idea of what the book contains:

"Being a human has many painful and embarrassing moments, many of which are funny with the right twist in perspective. Just My Luck nimbly walks the tightrope of comedy and political correctness with a collection of essays that turns frowns right side up again. Observational humor and self-deprecation are the foundation of these stories, relatable at every turn. If you’ve ever had a childhood, taken a dump, or been to the DMV then this book is for you. Just be prepared to never look at getting your blood drawn the same way again."

Please include that description on the back cover along with an About the Author section below it:

"Kyle Woodruff’s books include Genesis: Biblical Commentary Through Dialogue, Job: Biblical Commentary Through Dialogue, and 100 Quick Essays: From @TheDevoutHumorist. Originally from small-town Connecticut, he currently resides in Deerfield Beach, Florida. He writes a blog that can be found on Instagram, YouTube, and www.TheDevoutHumorist.com."

(Titles of the above books need to be in italics, which I can't format here.)

I've also attached two of my other book covers to get a sense for creating some semblance of layout consistency.
