Hi Charlotte,

Thank you so much for reaching out again — I really appreciate it! I’d be happy to help with your requests.
1. The original cover had a slightly painterly style. If you’d prefer a more realistic look, we’d need to move in a completely different direction — something that looks like a real photo of a woman, a horse, and a dog (or cat). It’s a bit difficult to give an exact quote right away, as this type of project can involve several rounds of adjustments. Do you have a budget in mind? As a reference, the cost would likely be similar to your first contest prize — around $120–150 per cover, including the full design with back cover, text, and barcode.
2. For the new book cover(s), we can definitely aim to keep the overall feel close to the original design you liked. However, since you mentioned it looks “too AI,” it would be very helpful if you could share a few book covers you like, along with what exactly appeals to you about them.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

P.S. Just a quick reminder, it looks like you haven’t opened my previous message with the new link yet. Please download the files when you get a chance, as the link will expire in a couple of days.

Hi Sve, I did not see your reply, only that you had rejected the invitation.. SO I assumed you did not want this project and have upgraded it an invited other designers - THat is a shame. I will have the one you did re-designed too as I can't seem to get this one either. Thanks.

Please do not submit designs - I have asked for this to be cancelled ASAP..

Charlotte,

Again you didn’t see my previous messages.
Not only here, but on your previous project page.
How I can communicate with you?

I will continue this project (ignore previous message)

Hi Sve, when I click on your link to get the files, it says transfer not available. I will leave this now and continue with the new contest, and when I have a winning designer - likely ask them to design something similar for the first book.. But of course would still like the files please yes. Thanks

Sve - feel free to re-send link for the other contest files - the one you sent does not work

I will continue this contest (ignore cancellation message)

This is the ISBN Number for the Book (for the cover)
