Description: I am seeking a talented and creative cover designer for my forthcoming book, Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers: The Coptic Orthodox Embrace of the Other. This project calls for someone with a keen eye for bold, thought-provoking design—someone who can deliver a cover that is both visually striking and thematically rich. About the Book: Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers explores how the Coptic Orthodox Church has historically—and continues to—engage with those outside its fold, from ecumenical efforts and interfaith dialogue to deeper theological and cultural openness. At its heart, this book is a call to rediscover the essential unity of the faith amidst the real challenges of difference and division. It blends theology, history, personal testimonies of feeling excluded, and contemporary commentary with an urgent and inspiring message. What I’m Looking For: I want a cover that is intense, dramatic, and unmissable—something that instantly grabs attention while resonating with the book’s deep themes of unity, struggle, and the Eucharist. The ideal design will: Reflect the gravity of the title—Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers—in both typography and imagery. Capture the tension and beauty of faith reaching across boundaries. Evoke the sacred without relying on clichéd religious imagery. Be suitable for print and digital formats. Concept Ideas to Explore: Here are a few directions you might consider: Broken Bread as a Motif: Stylized, dramatic rendering of broken bread at the center, with light or fire emerging from the cracks—suggesting both sacrifice and connection. Barrier Imagery: Hands reaching across a broken wall, or a cracked chalice mended with gold (inspired by Kintsugi), symbolizing healing through rupture. Iconographic Fusion: A modern reinterpretation of traditional Coptic iconography blended with contemporary design elements—bold color contrasts, minimalism meeting sacred art. Contrast and Light: Stark contrasts between light and shadow to reflect division and unity, possibly incorporating a cross-shaped beam of light emerging through darkness. Feel free to suggest your own visual interpretations—I’m very open to bold creative input as long as it serves the core themes. Deliverables: Front cover (print and digital format) Spine and back cover (for print layout) Title and author name placement (exact specs provided upon hire) Final files in print-ready and web-optimized formats Final deliverables must include both the editable source file (e.g., PSD, AI, or InDesign) to allow for future sizing adjustments, and a high-resolution PDF suitable for print and digital distribution. Timeline: I would ideally like the final design completed within 2 weeks.
