Graphic Design Brief

We are publishing a narrow niche PDF eBook and need both a great cover AND great magazine style layout.

The eBook is a compilation of interviews with 12 financial experts on a particular topic. So the format is is the same for each interview 'chapter'

We are looking for a good front cover/document design that will make what is a pretty dry topic, exciting, interesting and easy to read. Basically - magazine style layout.

The specs for the front cover are:

Title:

The Challenges and Opportunities Facing Accountants and Advisors In Growing Their SMSF Business In 2014 -2015

by Sal Carrero

published by madhouseMEDIA

The client would like a similar cover to the one I have attached for your reference. (book front cover example). By no means be limited by this design suggestion. The only caveat is that shots of all interview subjects are included (except the author). These have been included in the zip file.

The design for the text should be elegant and consistent with the design of the front cover. Please format the text in pages 1 to 15 to demonstrate you've understood the brief.

Attached files.

1) MS word version of draft book pages 1 to 15
2) copy of the cover my client would like to emulate.

reminder - this is destined to be a PDF eBook - so looking for some nice eye catching magazine style layout in the design. Columns would be fine.

Good luck!
