Design Concept
The cover showcases Enzo, a determined young hero dressed in a rugged adventurer's outfit, facing the viewer but slightly angled toward the kingdom nestled in the massive tree trunk. The tree, ancient and vibrant, spans the height of the cover, with glowing lanterns and warm lights dotting its enormous trunk, hinting at intricate homes and bridges hidden in its bark. At the horizon, subtle yet meticulously detailed, the other fantastic kingdoms—like the mountain-top castle, floating cloud city, and mechanical plain city—create a sense of an expansive world. A soft, golden sunlight beams from behind the tree’s upper branches, casting a hopeful glow, while distant dark, swirling mist creeps in ominously from the bottom corners.
An elegant and modern serif font for the title "La quête de Enzo," slightly ornamented with medieval flourishes to evoke fantasy. The author’s name "Nino Sapin" is in a clean, uppercase sans-serif font at the bottom, ensuring clarity and prominence, but smaller than the title.
The title is placed prominently at the top center, slightly arched to mimic the flow of the tree canopy. Enzo stands in the bottom third of the cover, slightly to the left, drawing the reader's eye immediately. The central focus is the glowing kingdom in the tree trunk, with the other kingdoms strategically visible in the background to the right. The dark mist rises ominously from the bottom edges, framing the scene and creating a tension-filled vignette.
The visual composition focuses on drawing the reader into an awe-inspiring, expansive world, instantly identifying it as a fantasy. The contrast between light—a symbol of hope and wonder in the glowing tree kingdom—and the dark mist creeping upwards represents the tension and stakes at play in the story. Typography is chosen to be both elegant and genre-appropriate, striking a balance between readability and aesthetic. The matte finish, combined with spot gloss, enhances the visual hierarchy by drawing attention to key details, while the chosen paper texture links directly to the natural, tree-centric theme of the book, immersing potential readers in its world even before they turn a single page.
