Bartlett Publishing
Educational books for high-school and college
Book Title: "New Programmers Start Here"
Subtitle: "An Introduction to Computer Programming Using JavaScript"
Author: "Jonathan Bartlett"
Publisher: "Bartlett Pubishing"
This design should be an inviting cover for people to want to start computer programming. It should be fairly simple, and emphasize the title. The subtitle should be visible, but should not be the first thing the person sees.
A spaces is needed on the back cover for a description. Please use a paragraph or two of Lorem ipsum for spacer.
The attached files are the templates given by the book printer. The spine needs to be free to change slightly. It is estimated to be 316 pages, but could come in slightly more or less.
I also attached the Bartlett Publishing logo. The colors are not required. Even the logo itself can be messed with if needed. The main thing is that there be the two letters "BP" above the word "Bartlett Pubishing".
The cover should appeal to students, teachers, and *parents*, as the homeschool market will probably be the first that I sell to. However, if photos are used, the person should be one that could either be in high school or college. I don't want to intimidate the high-schoolers or infantilize the college students.
