I am looking for a cover design (for Print and Ebook) for my new book: 

TIME GAMBIT: Master the Moves That Make Time Work for You 
by BRENT WM. BAUER (please note: My middle name is William, so WM. should appear with a period only after the M.)

Time Gambit is a book for leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-capacity professionals who feel consumed by the pace of modern work and are ready to reclaim their most valuable resource—time. It’s not a productivity manual, but a playbook for mastering the strategic “moves” that turn time from an adversary into an ally. Blending real-world coaching insights with the metaphor of a chess gambit, the book challenges readers to trade low-value busyness for high-impact purpose. The tone is reflective yet practical—equal parts inspiration and strategy—helping readers design a life of greater clarity, rhythm, and meaning. Designers have full creative license to explore imagery that evokes strategy, movement, alignment, and mastery over time—where intellect meets intention and calm focus wins the game.

Creative Brief: Time Gambit — Book Cover Design

Book Title:  TIME GAMBIT: Master the Moves That Make Time Work for You
Author: BRENT WM. BAUER

Size: Standard Business Book-  6" W x 9" H Aspect Ratio (Amazon/KDP)


Purpose of the Book:

Time Gambit is a guide for leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-capacity professionals who feel ruled by their calendars and constantly stretched thin. It teaches them to see time differently—not as an enemy to conquer, but as a strategic ally to be mastered. Drawing from years of executive coaching and leadership experience, the book helps readers reclaim focus, energy, and direction by making smarter “moves” that align their time with their purpose. The tone is reflective yet practical—equal parts wisdom, story, and strategy.


Design Direction:

The title evokes both strategy and movement, much like a chess gambit—where a deliberate sacrifice leads to greater advantage. The cover should visually suggest clarity, mastery, rhythm, and intentional motion rather than chaos or overwhelm. The concept can lean minimalist or symbolic but should feel elevated, timeless, and intelligent—something that appeals to business leaders and thinkers, not casual readers of productivity hacks.


Mood and Tone:

  • Strategic

  • Reflective

  • Intelligent

  • Modern with a touch of classic depth (think timeless, not trendy)

  • Calm and confident, not busy or frenetic


Visual Ideas (optional cues for inspiration):

  • A stylized chess piece or board motif used metaphorically (not literal gameplay)

  • Subtle imagery of time (e.g., clockwork, hourglass, light trails, or shifting shadows)

  • Perhaps the chess board looks like a page torn from a calendar with dates in the corner of each square?

  • The sense of alignment, precision, or flow

  • Contrasts of light and dark to represent clarity emerging from complexity


Target Audience:

Owners, founders, and leaders of small to mid-sized businesses ($1M–$100M in revenue), typically between ages 30–65. They value wisdom, efficiency, and personal mastery—and they’re drawn to books that look as sharp and intentional as they aim to be.
