The Brief
Design needs
A cover that will appeal to young readers, especially girls. It's a serious story, but I don't want a depressing cover. It needs to be hopeful and appealing. Important plot elements that might be used on the cover--the main character is a 12 year-old girl, a German shepherd, a male police detective, set in Spokane, Washington. I'll consider both illustrated as well as photographic covers. This is the first of two books, so I'll likely be needing a second, similar type of cover in the next six months or so.
What to avoid
Nothing too dark or depressing. Surprise me!

Client review
This is the second book cover contest I've run on 99Designs and enjoyed both of them thoroughly! It's amazing to see all the talent, and so fun to see the various ways the designers can bring a story to life. Darmadsgn was very easy to work with, prompt and did a great job depicting my story characters the way I see them!
peachyyAlong the way, they met lots of talented designers…
We think contests are a super fun way to get design.
