Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover features a modern, clean design with a light blue background, maintaining a consistent color scheme from previous editions. At the top, there is a bold dark blue title "Read to Write Third Edition" in large font. Below the title, a subheading “Now with common errors and explanations” is presented in a contrasting gold banner with white text. An image of a pencil and notebook with English and Japanese notes sits centrally, symbolizing the learning process. Mutsumi Kawasaki's name appears at the bottom in a smaller, elegant font.

Design Typography:

The title uses a modern sans-serif font, bold and easy to read, while the subheading and the author name use a clean serif font to convey professionalism and clarity.

Design Layout:

The title is placed at the top center, with the subheading directly beneath it within the gold banner. The central image of a pencil and notebook occupies the middle portion of the cover. The author’s name is displayed at the bottom, maintaining balance in the design.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition is designed to be modern and approachable yet academic, reflecting the textbook's purpose for university students. The light blue background and gold banner introduce freshness while keeping with the established color scheme to ensure continuity. The central image of a pencil and notebook signifies the learning process and appeals to the target audience of Japanese students. The typography choices (modern sans-serif for the title and clean serif for other texts) ensure readability and maintain a polished look. The matte finish on high-quality cardstock adds to the cover's professional appearance, making it durable for academic use.
