Moon Children'S Fiction Book Cover Design (Evoking excitement and wonder)

Visuals: The cover features a group of children playing hockey on an ice rink under a full moon. The moon is large and prominent, casting a soft glow over the scene. The children are shown in action, with their hockey sticks raised and the motion of the game captured. The ice shimmers and reflects the moonlight.

Typography: The title "When the Moon Comes" is displayed in bold, slightly curved letters in a playful font, with each word on a separate line. The author's name, Paul Harbridge, is displayed underneath in a simpler, elegant font.

Layout: The title is positioned at the top of the cover, centered and slightly larger than the author's name. The author's name is aligned with the bottom edge of the title. The visual composition of the children playing hockey occupies the rest of the cover, with the moon centered above them.

Explanation: The visual composition of this design aims to evoke nostalgia, wonder, and excitement. The image of children playing hockey under a full moon on a shimmering ice rink captures the magical atmosphere of the story. The choice of blue as the primary color enhances the night-time setting and reinforces the connection to the moon. The playful font used for the title adds a sense of fun and adventure, while the elegant font for the author's name adds a touch of sophistication. The use of a matte-finish paper stock adds to the tactile and nostalgic feel of the cover.
