I am looking for a PhD thesis cover design with accompanying chapter pages . The chapter pages do not have to be unique designs and can be copies of the cover with small adjustment (for example colour to grey).
The topic of the thesis is ischemic stroke, which is caused by a blood clot in one of the anterior arteries of the brain (for inspiration search for circle of willis/ middle cerebral artery/anterior cerebral vessel occlusion).
The first half of the thesis is about the clot itself (for inspiration search for "ischemic stroke thrombus"), the second half about the ischemic region in the brain measured on MRI/diffusion weighted imaging (for inspiration search for "ischemic stroke ischemic lesion MR").
It would be great if the design contains something creative with my hobby sailing, but this is not neccessary. The design can be abstract, animation type, realistic... just get creative :)
Both back cover and front cover need to be 17 cm with 0.5 cm bleed. The size of the spine is unknown, since it depends on the number of pages. Please, provide me with a photoshop file ( or GIMP if possible).
