Hi Ilian, I’m Dina, I write ebooks. Can you help me out with this ebook cover for a special report I’m offering on my website? The report is called:

This freebie shares tips on how to upcycle content. The general color scheme is greens and blues with no image. I want modern, clean,lots of whitespace.

I attached my headshot, in case you need it. I’m around for questions. Thanks, Dina
