Design Concept

standing book mockup, Its title is "Dog". A dimly lit scene of a rain-soaked alley in Tel Aviv, with puddles reflecting faint streetlights and dilapidated buildings in the background. A frail man, Geller, crouches on the ground, his face partially hidden in shadow, holding onto a stray dog. The dog looks directly at the viewer with a mixture of pain and hope in its eyes, its fur matted and damp. A silver spoon lies bent on the wet pavement beside them. The colors are muted—grays, blues, and browns—except for a faint golden glow coming from the dog's eyes, symbolizing compassion and resilience amidst the despair. The book title "Dog" is presented in bold, sans-serif uppercase letters with a scratched or distressed texture, representing turmoil and inner struggle. Subtle spacing between the letters conveys a sense of fragility. The subtitle (or tagline) appears in a simple, clean serif typeface below, smaller and more subdued, evoking reflection and elegance., The title "Dog" is centered at the top of the cover, large and commanding attention. The image of Geller and the dog occupies the central and lower area of the cover, creating a vertical flow from title to imagery. In the lower right corner, a small tagline or descriptive sentence is included. The background of the alley fades into darkness at the edges, guiding the viewer's attention toward the human and dog.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The dimly lit alley reflects the emotional gloom of Geller’s world, while the addition of rain and dilapidation mirrors his inner turmoil and struggles. The emphasis on the stray dog, illuminated with a faint glow in its eyes, signifies the hope and compassion that begins to stir within him. The silver spoon is a minimalist but significant symbol of his ongoing battle with addiction and desire to regain control of his life. The typography aligns with the tone of the novel—distressed and raw for the title, while the tagline’s clean serif font injects a touch of reflection. The matte soft-touch lamination material adds depth and tactility, allowing readers to connect with the intimate and human elements of the story. Spot UV detailing ensures the cover catches the light and the reader’s attention, highlighting the significance of the dog and the title. This cohesive approach balances the complex emotional layers—despair, longing, and resilience—that define this work of contemporary fiction.
