Contest Brief

I need an ebook cover designed. Height is 2400px, width is 1600px, must be 300dpi and RGB color format. The book title is "The Lament of Lucas Slade" and the author name is "R.J. Garner" A rough idea of what I have in mind can be found here... http://imgur.com/vx2hAVV

An example of the style of font that I like has been used on a book that can be found here... http://www.amazon.com/Killing-Hope-Book-Quinn-Thriller-ebook/dp/B006BZIXZM/ref=sr_1_75?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1412814636&sr=1-75

This is a book about a police officer, murder and revenge, so the cover needs a dark atmosphere to reflect that. I will include a few raw photos that you may use to help. You don't HAVE to use these, but you might have a better shot of winning if you can find a way to incorporate them, especially the ones of the police officer with his back to the camera... the police cars are optional.... I also like the "double exposure" effect and if you can find a way to use that, you might have a better chance.

Some examples of background photos that I like that you might want to use can be found here... http://depositphotos.com/8396249/stock-photo-back-yard.html?sst=0&sqc=3&sqm=2056&sq=2u7isl

but I don't have rights to those photos so you might have to purchase them or use something of your own that's similar

I'm willing to pay up to $50 if your cover really intrigues me. Good luck!

    Hi Jake, I really do take pride in my quality and apologize for getting the author's name incorrect and the title as well. I was pumped up at 3:00am EST to complete this and missed those details. I knew I was pushing it. No excuses though. I did resubmit.

      Not bad, but the cop appears to be black and he's white in the story... also the police car is a Dodge Charger in the story so I can't use that police car... not bad otherwise though :)

      It needs to be 2400px tall and 1600px wide... I also didn't care much for the font and would like you to take a look at the example font I posted a link to... would also prefer the officer with his back to the camera to be used

    Don't want to guarantee the prize in case only 4-5 people try and they're all bad. Make a good cover and I don't mind paying the $50, trust me.
