This is a workbook to accompany one-on-one coaching and workshop sessions. The book will contain a mixture of theory, practical tasks and blank spaces for clients to write reflections. Your job is to design the front and back cover using the existing logo and color scheme as your inspiration. Page size is A4. Hi-res and CMYK files please.
The successful concept should have these elements:
(1) White background
(2) Course logo which are the circles,
(3) Text elements: book title, author, and tagline
(4) some kind of graphic concept or illustration that communicates making a start, starting out on a journey, conquering your fears, building a strong foundation.
(5) Some connection to my business logo Total Voice Studio - The connection might be using the bars in some way or might just be the colors. Your creative input here.
If you are willing, I would like your next job to create an InDesign template that matches your cover. The template will have some master pages created. Also, headings, page number, graphic concept.
I use the full Adobe suite - so prefer your finished work as ID, AI or PSD files.
Obvious and cliché musical references, such as music notes all over the page. Also, no obvious microphone images. However, it does need to be identifiable as a singing course.
