Romance Romance Book Cover Design (Featuring cityscape, characters, and billboards)

Visuals: A romantic scene featuring two characters holding hands in Times Square. They are surrounded by the vibrant lights and towering billboards of the cityscape. The background blurs slightly to emphasize the characters, while maintaining the iconic atmosphere of Times Square. Above them, a slightly overcast sky suggests a nuanced emotion, mixing happiness with a hint of melancholy.

Typography: Elegant serif font for the title "When Love Finds You," with delicate flourishes. The author's name "Adelle Toler" is in a clean sans-serif font for contrast, placed at the bottom.

Layout: The title is positioned at the top center, drawing the eye downward to the central characters. The author’s name rests at the bottom, balanced by the cityscape that frames the scene. Billboards subtly lead the viewer’s attention to the couple.

Explanation: For the visual composition, I focused on capturing the essence of a romantic encounter amidst the bustling backdrop of Times Square. The choice of a slightly blurred cityscape allows the characters to stand out, embodying the emotional core of the scene — happiness intertwined with sadness, reflective of love's complexity. The serif font with delicate flourishes for the title conveys romance and elegance, suitable for the genre. Meanwhile, the sans-serif choice for the author's name offers a modern twist, ensuring clarity and balance. The cover's layout directs attention naturally from the title to the characters, supported by billboards that subtly guide the viewer’s eyes. The matte finish of the cover enhances the romantic, dreamy feel, while the spot gloss on the title adds a tactile and visual focal point, heightening the overall appeal.
