콘테스트 개요

I need a book cover designed for a collection of 6 short stories titled "Love, Child". The theme of the short stories is different kinds of love as expressed through children, but the twist is it's part of a bigger series of stories set in another universe in its rough equivalent of our bronze age, so it's also a set of fantasy stories.

Aimed at teens/adults but written for all ages, with no swearing, light violence in one story, and absolutely no gore or sexual themes. The prevailing sentiment that the cover gives should be a serious and heartfelt warmth, nothing goofy. None of the stories have dominant comedic themes, and they all feature an main characters under 18 years old.

The fantasy aspect is important. This story collection is linked to novels set in the same old-timey fantasy universe. What this means is that the cover shouldn't be designed to suggest any modernity or futuristic themes. Minimalism is encouraged but not a requirement.

The stories can be summarized as follows:
1. A boy sneaks away to find the favourite flower of his best friend.
2. A newly-crowned prince receives a visit from a self-exiled family member.
3. A child finds a baby reindeer-type creature and protects it from people who seek its extinction.
4. A priest-in-training tends to a sacred tree as an assassin watches from afar, ordered to wipe out the priests.
5. Two children forced into war realize they're distantly related and refuse to fight.
6. A girl shunned by all develops a crush from afar.
I've provided a drawing of the flower, a logo based on the reindeer-type creature, and a shuriken used by the warring people, if you deem any of them necessary elements for your cover idea.

All six stories are under the title "Love, Child" to be clear.

I have gone over some ideas but have yet to decide on any, so I welcome yours. Thankyou!

Hello, if I may ask, is there any author's name needed in this cover design? Thanks.

  Not on the front page, no. That can go on the spine, which I assume can be discussed once I decide on a design.
