Book Cover Design Brief

Diary of an APPRENTICE

Book One in the Series
Diaries of a Shaman

* * *

There are four books in the series

Book 1 - Diary of an Apprentice
Book 2 - Diary of a Journeyman
Book 3 - Diary of a DreamSnake
Book 4 - The Elder Diaries


You can read stories from the first book here - www.shamandiary.com

I am looking for a cover for the first book. For consistency, I would like to see whatever themes or concepts are used on this book’s cover, that similar themes/concepts are used throughout the series.

* * *

Themes

The only theme I am sure about is having a colour for each book. The first book is Green – that is, the predominant colour is to be green, rather than simply a green cover. There may be other ideas or themes associated with it, or different colours used, etc …

I imagine the four books lined up on a bookshelf. The colour is to help differentiate the books, to make each more visibly accessible.

Spine

Going with the colour theme for each book, I wonder if the font on the spine is to be in green, or the background is to be green. I guess this depends on the design of the cover itself … But, once again, the idea being that consistency is used throughout the series.


* * *

Symbolism

The book has been written with the idea that these stories could have happened anywhere, anytime, to anyone. With this in mind, I want to avoid using any kind of Australiana or Aboriginal symbolism.

Thanks,
Rodney.
