An abstract illustration of intertwining clocks and gears creating a cohesive timeline, with subtle silhouettes of two friends walking side by side. In the background, a dreamlike mist hovers, suggesting both the passage of time and dreams unfulfilled.
A blend of soft serif and modern sans-serif fonts, with the title "So, why late?" prominently in a fluid script that echoes the sense of dreaming and questioning. Author's name, Amrita Pani, in a clean, understated sans-serif at the bottom.
The title is centrally placed over the timeline image, with friendships depicted through side silhouettes at the bottom. The author's name resides in the lower right corner, balancing the visual weight of the main image.
The visual composition uses the intertwining of clocks and gears to symbolize the complex and often entangled paths of time and life, capturing the theme of the timeline. The silhouettes signify the two main elements of friendship and bonding, while the misty background adds a dreamlike, introspective quality. Typography combines softness from serif fonts with the readability of sans-serifs, lending the cover both modern elegance and literary depth. The layout is structured to ensure balance and focus, guiding the eye from the title through the image to the author's name. A matte, embossed finish was chosen to introduce a tactile, tangible quality to the theme of time and dreams, inviting readers to feel connected to the story's emotional landscape before they even turn the first page.
