I designed the book cover around the content, but interviewed the author about the cover imagery. He described that the main image should portray a pile of dollar bills, with a rain of 1s and 0s falling down from above. I had the perfect high-res imagery, made the masks, and composited the images using Photoshop.
Buğra is a very experienced, highly-regarded Wealth Manager with a brilliant record of success for his clients. As I read the manuscript, I quickly saw that he'd crafted two ingenious purposes for the book — the first being that the book would be a leave-behind for potential clients. Not one for their direct use though, but for family, friends, or any young people in their lives learning about finances. The book is uplifting and encouraging, and shows how relentlessly people in our society have been marketed to – to live beyond their means. So for those readers, it's a breath of fresh air and an inspiring path to a successful new start.
What will catch the attention of prospective clients is the very interesting Table of Contents. The chapter headings cleverly show the deep foundational thinking which informs Bugra's investment strategies. It's well-crafted good read , and it's available at amazon.com.
