Design Concept
An ethereal sunset landscape in a warm color palette of oranges, purples, and pinks. On the left side, Yuki— a 15-year-old with wind-swept black hair and wearing rustic yet magical adventurer clothes—kneels next to an injured Cerberus (depicted as a massive three-headed dog) with one head leaning against her tenderly. The military post looms in the background with a mix of fantasy architecture and a mystical aura, with faint glowing orbs floating around. The ground beneath them flows into a grassy hill, transitioning into stars as it fades upward.
Elegant serif font for the book title (such as Trajan Pro or Garamond), centered above the artwork at the top. The subtitle, "A Novel by Crystal Hoff," is written in a delicate sans-serif font in smaller size beneath it. All text is in a soft white or light gold color for contrast against the vivid sunset.
The book title occupies the top 1/3 of the cover, while the artwork of Yuki and Cerberus dominates the midsection, balanced low and extending towards the bottom. The author's name appears in bold at the bottom in the center, slightly larger than the subtitle for better focus. Subtle vignette fades surround the border, keeping the eyes directed inward to the central illustration.
The visual composition of the cover harmonizes emotion and fantasy through the use of a warm-toned sunset palette, combining themes of friendship, sadness, and hope as portrayed in Yuki’s tender interaction with the injured Cerberus. The magical floating orbs and the military post subtly enhance the fantasy and coming-of-age adventure themes. The typography complements this design by using a sophisticated serif font for a timeless, fantasy-inspired look, while the addition of a smaller, modern font for the subtitle ensures legibility and balance. The placement of the title and author name supports the narrative focus of the illustration while maintaining readability. UV-spot gloss on Cerberus’ glowing eyes and the title provides a tactile and visual aspect of fantasy charm, making the cover more dynamic when handled. The matte finish gives a soft and compelling feel, drawing attention to the details without gloss distraction, perfectly reflecting the tender and adventurous essence of the book.
