Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition is designed to reflect the eclectic nature of the story collection while maintaining a sense of lighthearted surrealism. The shorts serve as the focal point, integrating chaotic yet organized elements from different genres to immediately signal the playful and multi-genre nature of the book. The typography choices ensure both playfulness and readability, with the mix of modern sans-serif for the title and a more literary serif for the author’s name bridging the gap between modern and classic design sensibilities. The layout ensures a balanced distribution of visuals and text, while the spot UV gloss highlights add a premium feel, enticing readers to pick up the book. Together, the visual design, typography, and material choices combine to create a cover that is distinctive, intriguing, and representative of the book’s style.
