Design needs
I'll be promoting this book heavily on LinkedIn, so I need an attention-grabbing cover that stops people when they scrolling and catches their interest. The title should be big and bold. It should feel modern, sharp, and clean. Here are some examples I like: https://thumbor.forbes.com/thumbor/fit-in/1200x0/filters%3Aformat%28jpg%29/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs-images.forbes.com%2Fnetapp%2Ffiles%2F2014%2F09%2Fthe-soft-edge.jpg https://d3dkvycwtjicra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/25102335/The-hard-thing-about-hard-things-key-takeaways.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5202d1b3e4b099a0812c51a3/1415299176689-2AJ07HL39S4W2BYJ6NLA/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kFjiq_0Ek1NItql1dLmsgNNZw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWEtT5uBSRWt4vQZAgTJucoTqqXjS3CfNDSuuf31e0tVGQiKALUW-YxfFfP4p0PvHcTla7NnOOvQwSGt9YLKLGBhEym7bB5Y8EAaW-uC2HxJQ/The-Focused-Few.jpg?format=1000w https://99designs.ca/book-cover-design/contests/ebook-cover-self-help-book-reaching-dreams-701315
What to avoid
Avoid cheesy business images and anything that looks too "stock photoy". It shouldn't feel old school or boring or too textbooky. It's a book for younger executives. Should be professional but not dated.
