Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A brightly-colored African savanna at sunset, with a fantastical scene where various animals—elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, and flamingoes—are playfully interacting in a magical setting. The animals have whimsical features, such as sparkling eyes and shimmering fur. A soaring bird leaves a trail of glowing stardust across the sky, forming the title of the book. The background features lush acacia trees and rolling savanna hills blended with soft, dreamy, pastel tones, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

Design Typography:

Playful yet elegant hand-drawn sans-serif fonts with subtle curving lines, resembling the natural flow of the wildlife landscape. The title, "Little Tails of Africa," is set in golden, slightly illuminated text to match the magical feel of the scene, while the author's name, "Keith Muzondo," appears in a smaller, warm earthy color (such as deep brown or terracotta) below the title.

Design Layout:

The title arches across the top of the cover in the sparkling stardust trail created by the flying bird. A large central illustration of the magical animals occupies most of the cover, with the sunset melting into the background. The author’s name is aligned at the bottom, just above a subtle patch of golden grass. Additional details like faint sparkles and stars are scattered across the design, enhancing the fantastical look.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition merges realism and fantasy to captivate a child’s imagination while showcasing Africa’s iconic wildlife. The soft pastel background paired with sparkling elements invokes joy and a sense of wonder, representing the fantastical and ethereal aspects of the genre. The hand-drawn font adds playfulness while allowing it to remain legible and elegant, ensuring the title and author’s name are easily recognizable. Lastly, the glossy cardstock with spot UV finishes not only provides a high-quality feel but also visually heightens the magical aspects of the design, ensuring the cover is both alluring and durable for young readers.
