The inspiration for the design of this book came from key words and concepts from this book on how to be an effective public speaker and reach your audience no matter what the subject or the gathering.
My mind thought of how the speakers mind must work, like a well-oiled machine, all the gears clicking in the right place, delivering information, stories, ideas like clockwork to relay the intended message.
I chose a color pallet that typifies scholarly colors, kind of like the colors from fine leather books in universities and libraries, as well as hues of bright golden colors representative of enlightenment and knowledge. I followed the same ideas when I formatted the layout, the fonts I shoes and the type sytles.
The book was published in both hardback with dust jacket and softback and the cover layout was created in Photoshop and the book formatted in Quark Express. .
