Book Cover Design Brief

Then task is to design a cover for a CreateSpace book on the following unique story. "The origins of the duck decoy can be attributed to the Australian Aborigines, from at least 20,000 years ago. While their ancient bark discs were the first material form of duck decoy, the modern form in Australia derived some 165 years ago out of Scandinavia in company with early European settlers. Duck decoys and callers in Australia have evolved through hand-made, mass-produced and decorative styles – coinciding with shifts in active interest in waterfowl, from food to later recreational pursuits to a now-increasing value as art and other imagery. This long history, represented as a range of waterfowl species unique to this continent, is an essential and here-documented part of the global duck decoy legacy. Selected examples of the broad collections of enduring Australian decoys and callers are examined in this book, including reference to the leading carvers and collectors in this most extraordinary biogeographic realm."

Requirements

Must have

• Title, sub-title, and authors' names.
• Pictorial reference to selected Australian decoys (files provided, others available)
• The back cover must have a bar code (to be provided in due course by the printer)
• The back cover should have the publisher's logo (file provided)
• The back cover should have a brief outline of the story and its authors

Nice to have

• A landscape/habitat photograph (file provided).
• ADDITIONAL NOTES: The decoys on the front cover should be arranged in order of vintage (i.e. PBD3) at back (top) of line, then forwards through WQPG4, then FD2 (shifted from back cover) to new file (PED new) at front of page (lower decoy). A second new file (WED new) should replace smoothie (PD5) which latter might be used - if the fit is reasonable - between PBD3 and WQPG4 on front cover. The spine lettering should be large and bold. The logo and barcode boxes on the back cover might be smaller. The landscape habitat photo (WED1) should be as large as possible.

Should not have

• Too much clutter
