Sifu Sergio (www.sifusergio.com) is the founder and Worldwide Head Instructor of his Wing Chun Kung Fu organization, the IWKA. To get his extensive research out to the world, he has written his first book which counts well over 400 pages and needs to hit the shelves as soon as possible.
We are looking for a graphic designer (a cover at first, but if you think you can design the whole INSIDE of the book, we are more than happy to look at your designs!) who understands the targetgroup to which this book has to appeal: kung fu lovers, IWKA students and martial arts affiliates. The highly anticipated book counts around 400 pages and features 50/50 text and photos. It promises to have a grand impact on the martial arts community.
