Design Concept
A striking image of a house of cards delicately constructed in the foreground. The house is on the verge of collapsing, with a slightly supernatural glow suggesting a magical twist. Background fades from deep red at the edges to black at the center, creating a sense of depth and intrigue. Silhouettes of mystical elements are faintly visible in the background, adding to the magical realism aspect.
The title "A Game of Poker" is in a bold, serif font with a touch of elegance, colored in shimmering gold to stand out against the dark background. The author's name, Gabriel Araujo, is laid out in a sleek, modern sans-serif font below the title in white.
The title is prominently featured at the top, with the house of cards centrally located below. The author's name is placed near the bottom. Elements are balanced to draw the eye naturally down the cover from the title to the author's name.
This design integrates magical realism into the visual composition by featuring a house of cards that appears both real and enchanted, suggesting the fragile, magical nature of the narrative. The choice of colors—red and black—complements the genre and provides dramatic contrast, while the subtle background elements hint at the storyline's otherworldly aspects. The typography contrasts classical serif with modern sans-serif, creating visual interest and hierarchy, effectively guiding the reader’s eye from the intriguing title to the author’s name. The textured, matte paper adds a tactile dimension that makes the book both visually and physically appealing. The embossed house of cards further enhances the allure, making the cover memorable and enticing.
