Sad Poetry Book Cover Design (Featuring light, forest, and clouds)

Visuals: A desaturated, weathered green background with dark shadows of a decaying forest where both animals and humans appear in the form of silhouettes. The sky is filled with swirling dark clouds, but a ray of light breaks through, hinting at hope. There are small details like fallen leaves, parts of the broken environment, and faint outlines of struggling plants.

Typography: Elegant, yet somber serif font for the title "Care" and a delicate sans-serif for the author name "Noa Isabell Kallestrup Hagensen" at the bottom of the cover.

Layout: The title "Care" is placed in the upper third of the cover with the swarm of dark clouds as the background. The silhouettes of suffering flora and fauna spread across the middle, while the ray of light shines down to the bottom, leading to the author’s name in the lower part of the cover.

Explanation: The visual composition uses a desaturated green to evoke a sense of sadness and imperfection, matching the book’s themes of suffering and hope. The silhouettes and shadows reflect the struggles of both the environment and humanity. The ray of light serves as a symbol of hope despite the troubles, adding an element of resilience and optimism. The typography is carefully chosen to convey a somber yet elegant tone, suitable for the poetry genre, while the matte recycled paper underscores the book’s environmental message and provides a tactile connection to the natural world.
