I have a book cover that was designed by a contest winner from design crowd. I am close to the release of the book and upon review of the cover . I feel the book cover is missing something. It needs some pizzazz! I will upload the cover i have now, and my competition's book covers. The book is a kid's diary, and he writes about the funny things his friends or family does everyday. If you can add something to my existing cover great. If you need to remove something, add something or redesign it all together go crazy. I would like to keep the colors yellow and red, but if you have a better idea go for it. I've been racking my brain for two weeks trying to come up with something and I can't. I decided to turn it over to the pros.
