Description

I need a cover designed for a book titled "The Gift of Business". A quick background of the story. The book is about a young couple that start a coffee shop. Their dream is to run a successful coffee shop and create their own brand of coffee products. They quickly realize that they are in over their heads as they don't have a lot of knowledge about business.

Suddenly, a stranger appears in their coffee shop. He purchases his coffee and as John and Sara turn their attention back to the coffee shop they look up and he's gone. On the table is a white linen business card with a gold key on it. Above the key it says, 'become uninvisible".

The card has a link to a very special website with the same gold key - that every day offers them a new lesson on how to grow their business.

Each day for the next 12 days a mysterious stranger appears and leaves a new card. Each day they learn a new lesson on how to improve their business.

This is what I need.

* The book to be titled - The Gift of Business
* Subtitle - The 12 days of business
* The book takes place during Christmas / Holidays in a Cafe named Café Parfait.
* The cover needs to look very holiday-ish. The book will be targeted for Christmas sales - so it needs to really appeal to people during the holidays.
* The book cover needs to be appealing and stand out - remember it is a mixture of a love story, combined with a tale of business and success.
* The Gold Key is important to show as it will be throughout the book. The Gold Key would be similar to an old timey gold key. I can upload an example if needed.

Further requirements

Please read the description above carefully! I will be an active participant in this project!
