:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/98/98046/attachment_98046523 "Contest Holder wanted:
\"- The cover needs to catch the eye and communicate the subject matter (Education/Teaching) in a humorous way.
- The idea that the book is a cynical take on teaching must be clear.
- The design needs to stand out on the Amazon platform as a small thumbnail and encourage people to want to buy the book.
- The reader should feel that they must have this book if they hate their job as a teacher, find that it hasn't lived up to their dreams or can laugh at themselves.
- Imagery associated with education (books, apples, chalkboards etc) that can been used to communicate the humorous approach to the subject matter.
- I like a bold colour palette. I like bold titles that you know right away what the title was and what it was about, not too busy and with simple colour schemes. 2–3 colours\"")

À propos
Author of Jungle Breezes and Two Simple Words. Mom of 8. Hoarder of backyard chickens ;P
I've lived in 3 different countries, and now live in Florida, USA.
September 2012 I came to 99Designs as a client.
September 2017 I came back as a designer to do some work when my schedule permits.
As an author, I know getting your cover done is an exciting time that brings your book to life. I enjoy creating designs and being a part of that process. :)
