Description

I need a cover design for a biography by a man named "Helge Pahus".

Helge has been a priest in a church most of his adult life, but now he's retired. He has become quite famous in Denmark for leading one of the only growing state owned churches. The book is about his life and about serving in the church called "Karlslunde Strandkirke".

Specifications:
Type: hardcover
Bookblock: 143 x 205 mm (+ 2 mm on all edges for hardcover + 15 mm bleed)
Spine: 15 mm
Posibility of adding UV Varnish or Emboss to the cover.

Author: Helge Pahus

Title: "Mit liv og kirken"
Subtitle: "Helge Pahus fortæller om sit liv og virke som præst i Karlslunde Strandkirke"
Back cover text not yet available

ISBN: 9788771320879

Cover should be available in two editions:
1. First General cover design with Latin placeholder text
2. Second one each with black graphics displays what is wanted as UV Varnish

End result delivered: InDesign Package with all links, fonts etc. + Print PDF files for the Hardcover and the UV Varnish spot.

Attached is:

- 2 photo packages; portraits and pictures of the church. The design could have the church in the background - if it fits in.

- an example of another book "Radikal COVER v11.pdf" and "Radikal COVER v11-hardcover.pdf"

- Scandinavia logo

Further requirements

Helge Pahus is a humble man and does not want to "show off". Was it entirely up to him, he himself would not even be on the cover. But since it's a biography, he needs to be the main attraction.
