Contest Brief

I need a book cover for the new book Im writing.

Description:
The main theme is -freedom- and Ill talk about some inspiring and extraordinary stories I witnessed during a travel to Central America and how it changed my life and the way I think about life. In the book Ill talk about social and economics aspects, but also about businesses and politics. Its not a romance, it is more focused for economics, businesses and entrepreneurship audience. Basically the idea of the book is to connect these stories through the main theme (ie. Freedom) and how more freedom can make our lives better.

Requirements:
- Should be simple, but not simpler
- Must have an image or illustration of the -angel of freedom- in it (some images are attached. The blue background needs to be removed)
- Id prefer some white/light background
- One font I like is Arno Pro, but Im totally open to suggestions
- Dimensions: 21x14 cm

Information for the cover (only texts that must contain):
- Title: Liberdade!
- Subtitle: Histórias extraordinárias que transformarão sua forma de pensar
- Author: Daniel Scott

Observations:
- I attached some covers I like so you can inspire on (I usually like Malcolm Gladwells covers, so I would prefer something simple like that)
- Please add a backcover with a space for a book summary
- I will need the source files of the cover
- Please dont waste both my and your time with a sloppy job made using Paint Brush.

    Hi, please check my proposal #92. I think my angel shows more the freedom you're searching for.

    Sir. The idea of the reflection of the statue on the botton was mine, and I see many entries similar to mine, everyone is working with that idea and it seems unfair, they are copying my idea and it is not right. I hope you keep that in mind when it comes to qualifying. Regards.

    PD: BE A BIT MORE CREATIVE AND STOP COPYING THE IDEA OF THE REFLECTION OF THE STATUE.

      reflection is not an idea anymore, it is a basic design for so many graphic designers nowadays. reflection and shadows are used to emphasize a dominant imagery. so stop claiming that it is your idea, it's only a basic design.

    Arno Pro is a $784 font (actually $1200). Have you purchased the font for the design? So in case you're hold accountable as to if you have the license to use it, it's all good. https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/arno/

    hello, obviously most of the designers took the image of the angel that you have provided or an image from google or stock and altered it ! but there is a problem, even the altered images don't look the same as the original images it still have copyrights and the owner will surely recognize it. I don't mind at all of course but can we keep using the copyrighted images or should we design something original and more creative ?

      That's a good question. Original designs are better, otherwise I would have to buy the license of the image
