Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition combines elements of nostalgia (vintage carnival structures, retro storefronts) with hints of magical realism (ethereal glowing lights, twilight hues). The neon-inspired sign evokes strong emotional associations with whimsical happiness and confusion, drawing the reader into the surreal nature of the story. Typography was chosen carefully to represent both the retro aesthetic and clarity in presentation—the serif font for the title suggests nostalgia and longing, while the sans-serif for the author’s name balances the design. Laminated matte paper ensures durability while emphasizing rich colors, and the spot-gloss finish on the sign creates an eye-catching focal point. Embossing the title gives the design a tactile quality, immersing readers even further.
