Book Cover Design Brief
My novel is an action story called In The Company Of Monsters, and it needs a cover.
The story centers around Jack, a detective who takes his shot at redemption by going after a notorious cop killer. But things spin out of control when they and others are quarantined together with a virus that makes people temporarily homicidal.
It takes place inside an Import/Export business down by the Seattle docks. Since anyone can go crazy and try to kill whoever happens to be in front of them, there's definitely a paranoia vibe at work.
This is being made as a movie soon, and I'll include a photo we had shot for the movie poster as inspiration. The Marine Ka-Bar knife plays a role in the story, and the idea of two people wondering if they should grab the knife first fits the 'paranoia' well. But when this image is reduced to 90 pixels wide for an Amazon thumbnail, it all gets lost.
Updates
Thanks for the designs so far, but I should clarify that the photo of the two people facing each other won't be used for this project, as I don't have the book rights for it. I just included it as inspiration.

Requirements
Must have
- When your design is reduced to 90 pixels wide, it must still be recognizable and interesting. This is the size of an Amazon thumbnail image, and most people make the decision to click or not based on that.
A great design should entice people to click for more detail, then offer more info at full size.
