Visual Composition:

A dragon stands prominently in the center of the cover. On the left, the field is barren with cracked earth and withered plants surrounding the dragon's tail. On the right, the field is lush, teeming with vibrant greenery, golden wheat, and colorful wildflowers bordering the dragon's wings. The sky transitions from stormy gray on the left to a bright blue with a golden sun on the right.

Design Typography:

A serif font reminiscent of ancient scripts, vibrant gold for the title "Feast or Famine" with subtle texturing to reflect both opulence and ruggedness. The author's name, Naomi Novik, is in a smaller, clean sans-serif, placed at the bottom for balance.

Design Layout:

The dragon serves as the central axis, dividing the cover into two distinct halves. The title is arched above the dragon's head, while the author’s name is positioned below the dragon in a straight line, creating strong vertical symmetry. The visual elements transition seamlessly from left to right, reinforcing the thematic dichotomy.

Rationale Behind the Design:

In the visual composition, the dragon as the central figure not only highlights the fantasy genre but also serves as a powerful symbolic bridge between the dual themes of bounty and scarcity. The transition in the landscape, from barren to lush, visually narrates the concept of "Feast or Famine," providing depth to the book's theme. The choice of the serif font in gold for the title conveys a mix of fantasy opulence and a connection to historical legend, appropriate for a fantasy novel. The matte paper with spot gloss not only enhances the reader's tactile experience but also draws attention to the intricacies of the design, offering an enticing contrast that underscores the book's core emotional dichotomy.
