Explanation: The dark, monochromatic background emphasizes the boy's current environment, creating a sense of restriction and limitation. The glowing futuristic cityscape represents the boy's dreams and aspirations, offering a stark and hopeful contrast. This visual separation and pathway underscore the central theme of growth and change. The bold, futuristic font for the title signifies the boy’s desire to escape to a new, advanced world, while the classic serif font for the author’s name adds a touch of sophistication, grounding the imaginative elements. The layout directs the reader’s eye from the oppressive village to the hopeful city, mirroring the boy’s journey. The matte finish with embossed and glossy elements adds a tactile quality, differentiating key aspects, and enhancing visual appeal.
