The cityscapes are blended together at the center using a gradient, symbolizing connection. In the foreground, silhouettes of two children holding hands are shown, subtly fading into the background to depict the passage of time. The color palette consists of muted pastels and sepia tones.
Elegant serif typeface for the book title "Homeseeking," placed at the top with a slight arch, in a muted gold color. The author's name "Karissa Chen" is in a smaller, simple sans-serif font at the bottom, in a soft white color.
The book title is centered at the top with the cityscape imagery filling the page. The silhouettes are positioned centrally to draw focus. The author's name is placed neatly at the bottom, aligned to the right. The background transitions smoothly between the images.
The visual composition of blending two cityscapes with silhouettes represents the emotional journey and intertwined lives of the childhood sweethearts against their evolving backdrops. The choice of serif font for the title adds a sense of gravity and classic elegance, enhancing the themes of nostalgia and longing. The author's name in sans-serif contributes a modern contrast, conveying clarity and simplicity. The matte finish and textured cover material enrich the sensory experience, making the book feel as special and timeless as the story it holds. The color palette of pastels and sepia harmonizes the sense of past and present, longing and hope, intrinsic to the storyline.
