Visual Composition:

The cover showcases a dramatic, dusky background with swirls of mist and a muted splash of water cascading diagonally across the bottom right corner. In the foreground, a woman is portrayed with wide, expressive eyes, her face a mix of joy and pain. She is holding her underbelly as though she's about to deliver, her knees slightly bent, and her body slightly angled toward the viewer. To the distant left side, the shadowy figure of a man’s back is subtly outlined, just touching the edge of the frame, creating a sense of distance and intrigue.

Design Typography:

The title, "The Donor," is displayed in an elegant serif font, bold and slightly weathered, suggesting both frailty and resilience. The author’s name, “Rukayat Atoyebi,” appears in a smaller, sleek sans-serif font underneath the title with ample spacing.

Design Layout:

The title is positioned prominently in the top center, while the woman’s image dominates the lower half of the composition. The splash of water serves as both a dynamic visual element and a subtle divider between the human figures and the abstract background. The man’s figure, though faint, draws the eye subtly to the left, creating a contemplative mood. The author's name is placed at the bottom, balancing the composition.

Rationale Behind the Design:

For the visual composition, I chose dramatic, emotive elements such as the woman’s stance and expression, combined with the splash of water, to evoke feelings of longing and satisfaction amid turmoil. The man’s back being slightly out of frame reinforces the themes of distance and detachment. The typography merges contrasting styles - serif for a literary and timeless feel, and sans-serif for modernity - to align with the contemporary fiction genre. Lastly, the use of soft-touch matte paper builds intimacy with readers, while the glossy spot UV treatment adds depth, drawing attention to dynamic design details such as the splash of water. This design encapsulates the complexities of joy, pain, and human connection.
