Design Concept

Visual Composition:

The cover features a dramatic scene set in a grand Roman arena, filled with sand and stone textures. The focal point is a gladiator and a Roman empress, both standing prominently in the foreground, the gladiator gazing longingly at the empress. Above them, a hawk soars in the bright sky, adding an element of movement and freedom. In the middle distance, a conniving Roman emperor watches them with a subtle smirk. The colosseum arches are prominently visible, giving depth to the scene.

Design Typography:

The title "Sand and Steel" is displayed in a bold, classic serif font reflecting the grandeur and historic nature of the Roman Empire, while the author's name "Julia Rokka-Auguscinska" appears in a smaller, elegant script beneath the title, suggesting both romance and refinement.

Design Layout:

The title is positioned at the top center of the cover with the hawk slightly overlapping it. The visual hierarchy leads the eye from the title to the central characters, then to the emperor in the background, creating a layered effect. The author’s name is placed at the bottom for balance.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition sets the stage for an epic historical romance, with the arena backdrop suggestive of power struggles and passion. The hawk flying above symbolizes freedom and perspective amidst the confined emotions of the gladiator and empress. The typography choices mirror Roman grandeur and drama, with the serif font emphasizing the epic nature and the script hinting at romantic elements. The layout ensures that each aspect of the scene is given its due prominence without overshadowing the dramatic interplay between the characters. Materials were specifically chosen to enhance the intricate details of the scene and evoke the right emotion when the cover is held, reflecting the blend of drama and elegance within the book.
