Design a captivating book cover for a book about the universe and quantum physics

Quantum Physics, Into the Light: Master the Secrets of Quantum Mechanics Fast, Through 4 Shockingly Bizarre Discoveries, Revealed Step-By-Step (In Plain English!)

John Stoddard

This book covers the history and wonders of Quantum Physics, the study of light and atoms. It's filled with information about the universe, the Milky Way, black holes, atom bombs, quantum computers, Schrodinger's cat, Einstein, etc.

Physics students, curious people, and lovers of learning. I have poured my heart and soul into this manuscript - it is so engaging and interesting that it will draw in ANY reader with a pulse!

It MUST be a professional design that an amateur could never reproduce themselves cheaply. It MUST have an image that plays with the title in a creative way (see attached Word doc for several examples). I'm REALLY inspired by the "Universe in a Coffee Cup" image (attached) and I think this is a really creative image idea that I'd like to see in the design on white background with colored font in the title or on a brown table with white font in the title! And I want the view to be directly above the coffee cup looking down into the Milky Way galaxy directly, not at an angle like in the attached image. The circular coffee cup and handle could form the "Q" of Quantum Physics, or if that looks really bad we can keep the image and text separate. If you think of a better concept feel free to use it and I'll take a look. The image and title shouldn't be perfectly centered (too ordinary). Most competitors use dark blues/blacks for space, so using white background is preferred. It's okay to use more than one font. Author's name at top, then image and title, then sub title at the bottom. Since the title is Quantum Physics Exposed, there's almost a "newspaper" feel to it. I would like to have the Subtitle have white text and split into 3 lines with dark blue rectangles behind each line and space between rectangles (see "Subtitle with rectangles" image attached). The 3 lines of the subtitle should be split like: Secrets of the Universe Revealed By 4 Shockingly Bizarre Discoveries Master Them All With Your Morning Coffee "4 Shockingly Bizarre Discoveries" should be bolder/bigger than the other subtitle text so that it pops. Be careful that there's plenty of white space in the design so that it can "breathe." Most often this means title text and coffee cup need to be smaller.

Avoid a cheap, quick design with simple centered text with an image below and the author's name at the bottom. This design must have a WOW factor!
