Idea 02 - Front, spine and back cover design
I really liked the original image and didn't want to crowd the front cover with unnecessary text. I also thought it was similar to the kind of image Paulo Coehlo might choose for one of his books. I decided to base the cover design on books of that genre, where the authors name is almost more important than the title.
