Design Concept

Visual Composition:

A dark, apocalyptic Earth is shown in the bottom half of the cover, cracked and shrouded in a toxic red haze. Above Earth, Mars looms in the upper left corner, glowing faintly with orange and pink hues. A woman (Maisie) wearing a futuristic geoscientist suit stands close to the foreground, her back facing the reader, her face partially turned toward a man (Nathan) standing beside her. Maisie has striking curly dark hair, while Nathan has sharp features, pale blond hair, and piercing steel eyes. They are shown looking out at Earth, standing on a rocky plateau under a star-splattered sky in neutral silence, pulling from their complicated romance amid danger. The surrounding atmosphere is dark, tinged with dystopian melancholy. Dramatic lighting highlights the contours of their faces and gear.

Design Typography:

The title "As It Was Before" is in a brutalist sans-serif font, bold and white, with cracks subtly etched into the letters exuding the apocalyptic tone. The author’s name, "Astrid Lovegood," appears in a delicate cursive font at the bottom right corner, contrasting with the starkness of the title.

Design Layout:

The planet Mars dominates the upper left, contrasting against the bleak depiction of Earth below. Maisie and Nathan are positioned centrally and slightly to the right, bringing focus to their dynamic. The title spans across the top, leaving the dramatic scene unhindered below. Subtle streaks of light emerge from Mars to Earth, symbolizing hope and revitalization, yet the cracks on Earth cast shadows into the foreground, emphasizing danger.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition captures the contrast between a doomed planet and a hopeful Mars while showcasing the central characters and their complexity. The typography highlights the tension of the story through a bold brutalist sans-serif font for the title, which evokes strength and brokenness, while the delicate cursive font for the author’s name introduces a soft, romantic element. The layout places the characters in the foreground and planets in the background for balance, while the subtle streaks of light act as threads connecting hope and peril, emphasizing the book's themes. The material choices, such as matte paper and spot UV, add tactile depth and visual layering to reinforce the story’s emotions, making the cover memorable and engaging.
