Happy Non Fiction Book Cover Design (Featuring ocean, beach, and house)

Visuals: A serene Jamaican beach setting with a vibrant ocean in the background. In the foreground, a shiny gray paper clip rests on the sand, with a playful dolphin jumping out of the water nearby, slightly casting its shadow over a quaint Jamaican-style house nestled among palm trees. The overall mood is bright and cheerful, inviting readers to explore the themes within.

Typography: Bold, sans-serif font for the title "The Paper Clip" in a bright white color to stand out against the backdrop. The author's name "Evan Houtsma" is in a smaller, elegant serif font placed subtly at the bottom of the cover.

Layout: Title at the top centered, dolphin jumping in an arc, casting a spotlight on the paper clip, and leading the eye to the house in the background. Author's name at the bottom, ensuring balance and harmony in the design.

Explanation: The visual composition uses elements that are both inviting and thematic, integrating the paper clip subtly in a beach setting to pique interest. The typography balances boldness and elegance, making the title stand out and the author's name supplement it without overpowering. The layout ensures that the primary elements guide the reader’s eye naturally from the top with the title, through the dynamic motion of the dolphin, down to the paper clip and house, creating an inviting journey. The materials chosen accentuate the design through a combination of tactile and visual enhancement, offering a premium and environmentally conscious product.
