Design Concept
A sorrowful scene depicting a broken, slightly tarnished crown resting beside a bloodstained blade on an aged, cracked wooden table. Surrounding the scene are faded ink patterns, resembling handwritten letters from the historical period, lightly blurring into the textured background. In the distance, there's the faint silhouette of a crying figure, cloaked and holding herself despairingly. The entire design uses a desaturated, muted palette of grays, dark golds, and antique reds.
Elegant serif typeface (reminiscent of historical manuscripts) for the title and subtitle. “The Crown, The Blade, and Her Name” is embossed in an antique gold foil with a slight weathered effect, while the subtitle beneath uses a smaller, antique-styled italic. The author's name "Noura" is in a minimal yet stylish sans-serif in deep gray placed elegantly near the bottom.
The title spans the upper-mid portion of the cover, with the visual of the crown and blade positioned centrally to hold focus. Subtle scroll-like patterns frame the title and subtitle. The spine mimics the front design, but with only the crown and blade symbol faintly pressed into the background, ensuring a cohesive look. The back cover continues the handwritten letter text patterns faintly with a centered evocative subtitle, leaving room for a short blurb and barcode at the bottom.
The visual composition combines symbolic imagery with historical and emotional resonance, creating a relatable sense of tragedy and romance. The tarnished crown and bloodstained blade evoke a sense of struggle, loss, and historical intrigue, setting up the story's themes vividly. Typography is carefully curated to meld historical nostalgia with an easy-to-read yet evocative design, featuring serif fonts to align with the novel’s period setting while ensuring modern appeal. Gold foiling and embossing amplify the elegant, prestigious feel suitable for a story involving royalty, while the sans-serif author font keeps things approachable and contemporary. By using matte lamination and textured finishes, the physical feel of the book matches the novel's bittersweet and tragic tones, while spot gloss subtly highlights key elements for further reader intrigue.
