Book Cover Design Brief
I have written a parable story to teach public speaking concepts. The main character, Stephen's twin sister, Niamh, has just died. He goes on a cruise ship where he meets a number of performers who teach him life lessons and public speaking concepts. The themes of the story are memory, healing, magic, and communication.
I would like the cover to be a two-sided paperback cover that can be uploaded to Amazon for self-publishing. My idea is to have Stephen on the deck of the ship looking out to sea. There, he can see a silhouette of his sister, and a compass to signify trying to find direction. The colour scheme is purple and blue. I've attached some ChatGPT mock-ups of the cover, Stephen and Niamh to give you an idea.
I'd like the title of the book "The Speaker's Shanty" to be at the top of the page, and the author's name "David McCrae, MSc" to be at the bottom.
