Design Concept
The cover depicts a twilight cityscape of Qom with the shrine of Lady Fatima Masuma (SA) taking center stage, its golden dome glowing softly against a gradient sky transitioning from indigo to amber. The minarets stand silhouetted above the calm horizon, with delicate crescent moons atop that glisten subtly. In the foreground, a lone male figure in simple, modest clothing stands at a crossroads, gazing intently toward the shrine. Around him, quiet streets stretch out, populated with faint outlines of Islamic scholars in traditional robes on foot or riding bicycles, adding depth to the scene. The mystical element shines through with faint, flowing Arabic calligraphy illuminated subtly across the sky as if carried by an otherworldly wind.
Elegant serif typography for the title, with a poetic, handwritten accent for certain words in the title. “Beneath” and “Sky” are in a graceful yet bold serif typeface, while “Qom’s” features flowing handwritten Arabic-style script to connect with the spiritual theme. The text is arranged harmoniously, with warm golden and soft white colors to echo the shrine's glow.
The golden shrine is the focal point, placed centrally in the upper portion of the cover. The lone figure at the crossroads is positioned slightly off-center in the foreground, creating a balance between solitude and longing. The Arabic calligraphy flows diagonally across the top half of the sky, drawing the eye toward the title, which is positioned in the upper third of the cover. Negative space in the lower half highlights the quiet streets, ensuring a sense of calm. The title stands out at the top without overwhelming the illustration.
The visual composition combines architectural and natural elements to depict Qom's spiritual essence, with Lady Fatima Masuma’s shrine glowing at the heart of the cover. The surreal horizon of Arabic calligraphy deepens the mysticism, while the figure at the crossroads subtly explores themes of seeking and belonging. Warm twilight colors mirror the contemplative emotion of spirituality and the solace of divine inspiration. The typography intentionally contrasts elegant serif fonts with a delicate, Arabic-inspired, handwritten style to imbue the title with both modern poise and traditional reverence. The layout balances key elements to captivate the viewer’s attention and evoke the book’s emotional depth. Finally, the choice of matte paper with pertinent spot UV effects both elevates the poetic theme and replicates the glow of the shrine, making the spiritual elements tangible to the reader.
