Design Concept
A richly detailed illustration of the Imam Mosque (Masjid Shah) in Tehran dominates the cover, with an emphasis on its dome and intricate tilework. The mosque is depicted in a semi-restoration phase, with scaffolding on one side to hint at the repair process. A muted, historical color palette of blues, greens, and earthy tones is used. A faint overlay of Islamic geometric patterns decorates the background, blending with the mosque's silhouette to convey a sense of religious and architectural heritage.
A traditional Arabic-style serif font is used for the title, with ornate flourishes inspired by Persian calligraphy. The title appears in a balanced, symmetrical arrangement at the top center, with bold characters in gold to enhance a regal historical feel.
The mosque image occupies the central space, with the title arched above it, following the curve of the mosque’s dome. Subtle geometric patterns wrap the edges of the cover, framing the mosque elegantly. The background transitions from a faded earthy beige at the top to deep blue at the base, creating depth and focus on the structure.
The visual composition highlights the Imam Mosque in a respectful and detailed way, emphasizing its architectural beauty while alluding to its restoration through scaffolding. The muted, historical tones create a timeless appearance, appropriate for an essay collection about the mosque’s repair process. The typography balances formality and art, with gold foil adding an elevated visual and tactile element that complements the religious and historical theme. The layout ensures balance and symmetry, respecting the architectural precision of the mosque itself. Textures and premium materials enhance the book’s presence, making it memorable and collectible for readers interested in history, architecture, and religion.
