The book cover features a visually striking composition that immediately captures the reader's attention. Dominating the front is a central illustration that reflects the core theme of the story — symbolic, dramatic, or atmospheric depending on the genre. The title is prominently displayed in bold, carefully selected typography that complements the mood of the book, while the author's name is positioned for clear visibility, often at the top or bottom.
The color palette is thoughtfully chosen to evoke specific emotions, whether warm and inviting for a romance, dark and moody for a thriller, or rich and fantastical for a fantasy tale. Subtle textures, gradients, or photographic elements may be layered in to add depth. On the spine and back cover, visual elements are harmonized with the front design, with a brief synopsis, author bio, and publisher logo thoughtfully arranged to maintain visual balance and readability.
