Help - Book cover

[zackz]

Guys,

I need your help to give me an idea for my book cover assignment. The title is 'The Nutritional Status of Malaysia Adult Aged 18 - 59 years'. I already submit the photos of a mid 20's girl holding a broccoli but they said it is not relate to the title. Actually that idea came out due to I saw so many health magazine is always using the people images with some props, so thats why I proposed that kind of photo and personnally I think the meaning of the image shouldn't be too direct right? I mean, the image should be little bit unique and something meaningful is hiding behind the images, 'The Photo tells the story'.

Regards,

The title sounded very gomen like, hence you gotta think like the gomen folks who wanted straight and literal pictures, if you get my drift that is....

Last night I called up my malay, chinese & indian neighbor for the photo session at one of the famous mamak resaurant here. Glad they were able to support as I told them I buy for that night. Thankfully they didn't order a lot of thing or brought the whole family, if so my pocket surely 'rabak' :D. Hope, the 'gomen' side agreed on the book cover proposal this time.

Well, I did submitted several artwork with photos to them. I did put 3 peoples which including malay, chinese & indian and all of them was captured during the meal just reach their mouth. I arranged the photos side by side (3 photos) and locate it at the bottom of the book cover & the title on top. Unfortunately, yesterday they have changed the concept, they don't want any photos. They just want some sort like abstract design at the background. Hmm... still working..
