starchycarb needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 26 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
I also want to have a companion e-book designed called: Dawn Perucca's Weight Loss Crash Course.
Crash Course Subtitle: 30 Steps that are fast and easy to read explaining how Dawn got back into shape at the age of 45.
I want both books to be designed as e-books that will be sold together. Both books should have the same background and pictures, just different wording.

I am envisioning the background being a shiny silver. I would like for it to look metallicy, shimmery and/or sparkly. I think somewhere on the cover of the Memoirs Book there should be a background that is black with the statement, 'Dawn had struggled with losing weight for more than 15 years; but, at the age of 45 knows how to become and stay lean. If a silver background is not possible I would like gold or something shiny and sparkly that would appeal to men and women. I think the Crash Course Book should have a black background somewhere that highlights the statement: 'You can quickly understand how you can lose weight even if you have struggled with excessive hunger and cravings'.
- Item 1...I love bright colors like silver, gold, red, hot pink, purple, royal blue, cyan, however, I don't want this book to only appeal to women. If the entire cover is mostly silver and black, that would be ok. If the entire cover is mostly silver, black and red, that would be ok.The pictures I want to have used are at the link: http://www.4shared.com/dir/11572662…aring.html
Blue sweatshirt pic: Age 37 (small pic on cover)
Red suit pic: Age 41 (small pic on cover)
Sweater w. green diamonds pic: Age 43 (small pic on cover)
Stitches pic: Age 43 (small pic on cover)
Black Dress pic: Age 45 (larger pic on cover)
I think each picture should have my age at the time of the pic under or on the pic. For example, the pic of me in the black dress should say: Age 45 below it.
- Item 1...I don't like bland colors or colors that just blend in. I don't like beige, tan, olive green, mauve. Even if those colors are tastefully combined, they rarely appeal to me.
