Book Cover Design Brief
Title: Windows to Our World
Subtitle: Sarah's Journal - Growing Up, Crossing Oceans, Finding Love & Giving Life to 10 Children (I would like to have options with and without a subtitle)
Author: Sarah Janisse Brown
5.5 x 8.5 in front cover (need bleed)
Spine and 5.5 x 8.8 Back Cover Image are needed too, but I do not have text for the back yet. Use a picture of Sarah on the back cover.
This is a book about my life, and my family and our travels to Europe. We are a family with 9 kids and one on the way, and we travel the world together and make music. We sail and fly.
I would like to go with a blue feeling or a sepia/creamy yellow feeling. I am open to other colors like green. See samples covers for color schemes that I like.
I would like a cover showing a background of a vintage map including North America & europe (I want to see FLorida and Italy). WIth our family in the image, and perhaps and image of expecting mom in the foreground.
I have also included a photo of our house in Italy and other village shots that I took on our travels that you could use in the back ground.
Other elements can be:
Guitar stings, vintage airplane, cobblestone street, sailboat, navigation tools, luggage, Poppies, olive leaves, clouds, blue umbrella, window, Venice, Italy.
I like white or brown or black fonts on titles, maybe a brick red.
Included are pictures of our family. Someone might be inspired to take this a different direction I'm open!

I just added some cover ideas where I like the colors and fonts and feeling...
Updates

I updated the design information to make it more specific, Now that I see what is being submitted I feel like it is important to give a few more details. I will also look for some book cover examples today that I like, to give you a feeling for the style I am hoping for. I also need a back cover with just color and a soft image that can be used as a background for text, I do not have the text yet. It is not necessary to have pins in the map, just be sure the map shows Europe and North America. If pins are used they should not be modern.
Thank You All!

I added some new sample book cover designs, I am interested in more blues as well as the sepias and yellows that I first asked for. I could go either way.

The words: "Sarah's Journal" can be part of the subtitle or arranged somewhere else in the design.
