Reflection Creative Non Fiction Book Cover Design (Featuring sky, silhouettes, and lake)

Visuals: A tranquil, reflective lake beneath a vast sky. The water surface is a mirror, displaying an ethereal skyline. In the reflection, ghostly silhouettes fade into clarity, symbolizing uncovering hidden truths. Subtle rays of sunlight highlight an awakening from darkness.

Typography: Utilization of a modern serif font for the title, "The Lie You've Been Living," bold and capitalized, casting a shadow effect. The author's name, Sahaj Tripathi, is displayed in an elegant cursive font, offering a softer touch.

Layout: The title is centered at the top, with shadow effects creating depth. The lake and sky form the central visual, stretching across the front cover. The author’s name is placed at the bottom in a smaller size, maintaining balance and harmony with the central image.

Explanation: The visual composition employs a reflective lake to symbolize introspection and self-discovery central to the book's theme. The use of subtle light indicates enlightenment and the piercing of illusions. For typography, a modern serif font offers boldness to the title, ensuring it stands out, while the cursive author’s name provides elegance and contrasts the title’s boldness. The layout centers the reader’s eye through the reflective imagery while ensuring text remains prominent yet harmonious. Matte-finish paper is chosen to emphasize the theme of reflection, minimizing distractions and allowing the design's depth to emerge fully without shine or glare.
