A central focus on a scene depicting a Javanese woman, dressed in traditional kebaya and batik attire, her hair elegantly styled in a gelung, gazing wistfully at the sky. The clouds reflect the faint visage of a Dutch man from the same era. The title "Borderline" is placed prominently between them in the middle of the cover. The color palette is somber with muted earth tones and soft gray clouds, creating a sense of emptiness and tension.
A serif font for the title "Borderline," in a bold style to contrast with the background, incorporating subtle decorative elements reminiscent of Javanese script. The font color is a deep, muted gold.
The cover features a vertical alignment, with the Javanese woman occupying the bottom third, the cloud and sky occupying the middle with the faint figure of the Dutch man, and the title "Borderline" centrally placed. Balanced margins ensure a harmonious composition.
The visual composition aims to encapsulate both the historical context and emotional essence of the book. The Javanese woman in traditional attire visually anchors the reader in a specific time and place, while her expressive gaze towards the cloud introduces the primary emotional undertone of longing and emptiness. The subtle presence of the Dutch man in the clouds signifies the 'borderline' of cultures and unspoken tension, enhancing the narrative intrigue. The serif font style chosen for the title combines clarity with a touch of elegance, harmonizing with the traditional theme. Its muted gold color further emphasizes the historical aspect, standing out without overpowering the imagery. A matte paper with slight texture is intended to provide a tactile reminder of old manuscripts, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the story's historical texture. Together, these elements strive to create an evocative cover that draws in the reader, promising an engaging melodrama intertwined with historical depth.
