Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A close-up of a girl's arm with an intricate, strange tattoo in the form of swirling ivy leaves entwined with mysterious symbols. The tattoo glows softly, creating an enigmatic aura. The background is a dark forest, with dappled light seeping through the canopy, casting shadows that add depth and a sense of secrecy.

Design Typography:

A bold, serif font for the book title "Ink & Ivy" that evokes a sense of adventure, inked in a deep green to match the foliage. The author name "Rachel Taulbee" appears in a sleek, modern sans-serif font in white, nestled neatly at the bottom.

Design Layout:

The tattoo and arm form the central focal point, slightly off-center, drawing attention immediately. The book title is placed at the top in large, commanding letters, slightly overlapping the arm image for integration. The author name is kept smaller, unobtrusively at the base. Shadows and light guide the viewer's eye across the cover naturally.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition uses a striking image of a girl's tattoo, a central element representing tattoos' symbolism and mystery. The ivy and mysterious symbols hint at rebellion and adventure, key themes of the story. By positioning the tattoo as the cover's focal point, it immediately intrigues and invites curiosity. The typography choice reflects the genre, balancing modernity with classic mystery themes; the serif font adds gravitas, while the sans-serif keeps it grounded and modern. The layout ensures the tattoo draws immediate attention, while the contrast in text ensures readability. Matte paper with a soft-touch finish invites physical engagement with the book, while spot gloss subtly emphasizes the tattoo’s mystery, ideally capturing the reader’s interest.
