Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A terracotta-themed illustration with a subtle gradient orange background. In the foreground, there are prominently displayed potted plants red tomatoes, strawberries with small bursts of fruit, a lemon sapling with a tiny fruit, and a vivid purple petunia. To the left of the plants is an illustrated watering can with small droplets of water falling into the pots, and to the right is a trowel resting against a terracotta pot. The overall illustration is clean, focused, and reminiscent of a home gardening scene.

Design Typography:

The title is in a bold sans-serif font in white with an orange outline to make it pop, arranged in a centrally aligned format. The subtitle is in a friendly serif font in a smaller size located just below the title, colored in a soft brown to complement the earthy theme. The author’s name, "Forrest Green," is at the bottom, in a medium orange script font, flowing naturally with the design.

Design Layout:

The title occupies the top third, taking center stage for an immediate visual impact. The plants, watering can, and trowel form a semicircular arrangement in the middle of the design, acting as the visual anchor. The gradient background spreads gently to the edges, creating a tranquil but vibrant energy. The author’s name is tastefully placed at the bottom, balancing the overall layout.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition utilizes terracotta pots and friendly gardening elements to immediately convey the subject of container gardening. By featuring both food plants and ornamental flowers, the cover appeals to a broad audience interested in both functional and aesthetic aspects of gardening. The font selection contributes to the cover’s energy and simplicity; bold sans-serif for readability, friendly serif for a touch of elegance, and script for a personal and organic feel. The gradient orange background creates warmth and enthusiasm, tying in with the primary color preference. The choice of a smooth matte finish adds an element of sophistication while maintaining a natural and approachable texture—perfectly aligning with the themes of tranquility and practicality in small-space gardening.
