Book Cover Design Brief

Design a book cover for a sports biography about Kiwi NBA player Steven Adams. The book will be A5 size, approx 80 pages. It needs to have front and back covers and a spine. It needs to be print ready so that I can send it straight to a printer and also that I can have the files that printers would need. I write sports biographies for young adults who don't usually read much, especially boys, so I really want it to look appealing to them, to look like it would be a 'cool' book to read especially if they are reluctant readers. I want the cover to look inspirational like its a story about someone who has overcome a lot of really tough obstacles in life to achieve an impossible dream.
