Book Cover Design Brief

I need a cover designed for a new book (paperback and eBook).

The title is: “How to Profit from China” with the subtitle: “The only book you need to start investing profitably in Chinese stocks”. It is from the first time author :“Jukka Blomberg“.

The following text should also be visible in the front cover: “From the founder of ChinaSpeculator.com” or "Founder of ChinaSpeculator.com".

The publisher’s logo, should also be visible somewhere on the cover (front, back or spine). The logo, along with source files are here: http://1drv.ms/1QFelsU

The book/paperback cover dimensions are: 5.06 x 7.81 inches (12.9 x 19.8 centimeters). Here are the book-cover templates recommended by Amazon for a book of this size:

Below is a description of the book. I don't have a specific idea or vision in mind for the cover. I'd like to see what designs and ideas DesignCrowd designers come up with.

Color red is usually associated with China, but I don’t want the book to be red. Instead the background color could be one of the publisher’s brand colors (#88C198, #017487). However I’ll leave you the designers freedom to propose any colors and combinations.

This is not an entry level book, but a very advanced level investment strategy book for international investors. It explains with concrete examples how non-Chinese citizens can best benefit from China’s economic miracle by picking the best Chinese growth stocks from New York, Hong Kong and Singapore stock exchanges.

The book cover should not have dollar signs promising easy and fast money (because easy and fast money doesn’t exist). What the book promises is a very advanced level China investing strategy, which will considerably improve international investors’ odds for big profits in the longer term.

The big investment themes in the book are China’s consumer sector and service industries.

The book cover should have some kind of reference/association to Investing and China.

The design needs to work and be effective at both a large book cover size and a small thumbnail-sized image - the way that many people browse book covers on Amazon and other websites. Therefore, a design that relies on really small details probably won't translate at the smaller image sizes that book covers are displayed online.

Target Market(s)

International investors (~50% from western countries, 30% from Singapore/Hong Kong, Malaysia)

Industry/Entity Type
