Design Concept
A vivid sunset washes over a cityscape inspired by Hasselt, with warm orange and pink hues blending into purples. In the foreground, two young men and two young women, all appearing around 19 years old, are frozen mid-stride as they run down a cobblestone street. They are dressed casually but with subtle hints of adventure gear (e.g., leather satchel, scarf flying behind). Small, scattered elements like a map or compass icon subtly highlight the treasure hunt theme. The city around them includes intricate, slightly blurred outlines of iconic buildings and narrow streets, adding depth.
The title, "The Treasure of Hasselt," is written in bold serif font with slight gothic undertones, featuring a distressed texture to give it an aged, adventurous look. The author’s name, "Lui Vandebriel," appears in smaller sans-serif font at the bottom, providing contrast and modern clarity.
The title is prominently placed at the top center, slightly arching to match the contours of the setting sun. The characters occupy the lower half of the cover, creating an action-oriented focal point. The background cityscape occupies the middle layer, blending into the sky above. Warm tones of the sunset flow downward to guide the viewer’s eye naturally from the title to the motion of the characters.
The visual composition utilizes the warmth of a sunset to create a dramatic tension that aligns with the action-adventure genre. Including four young protagonists frozen mid-run not only emphasizes motion and excitement but also creates an immediate connection with readers in the same age demographic or those who love youthful adventure groups. The combination of a distressed serif title font layered over the sunset gives the sense of discovery, mystery, and history central to the treasure-hunting theme. The use of matte laminates offers durability and a high-end feel, while spot gloss on the crucial elements ensures attention is drawn to the selling points of the design when held or displayed under light. Overall, this cover balances vivid action with visual depth, making it an eye-catching and genre-representative design.
