Design Concept
An old, weathered tabletop is the background. To the left, a vintage letter rests diagonally, marked by a striking red wax seal in the center. Surrounding the letter are scattered items an aged compass, an ornate glass swan shimmering in faint light, and an old key with intricate detailing. The title "STELLA NOVA" is placed over the letter. "STELLA" is spelled out with Scrabble tiles arranged in a staggered line, and "NOVA" is elegantly inscribed directly onto the letter's surface in faded vintage ink. Everything is lit in moody shadows with subtle highlights to create depth.
Vintage serif font with slight weathering for "NOVA" to complement the aged letter. Scrabble tiles use their original text style for authenticity. The author's name, "Haven_writing", appears in small, clean sans-serif font at the bottom right to avoid overshadowing the title.
Title takes center focus, with "STELLA" in Scrabble tiles aligning left to draw attention naturally into the letter featuring "NOVA". The glass swan is placed subtly to the right as a visual counterbalance. The old compass is in the top-left corner and the key in the bottom-left corner, framing the letter. The author's name subtly anchors the design at the bottom edge.
The visual composition highlights mystery and intrigue through the scattered, vintage objects and their placement around the old letter. Scrabble tiles for "STELLA" enhance the theme of discovery, while the vintage ink for "NOVA" fits the genre's tone. The serif typography reinforces the aged theme, while the clean sans-serif font for the author's name keeps the design modern and legible. The matte finish with embossed and spot-UV elements makes the cover feel textured, tactile, and inviting. Combining these elements creates an air of curiosity, inviting readers to uncover the story hidden within.
