Design Concept
A visually striking cover split into two halves vertically. On the left side, the scene portrays a white girl with dark brown wavy hair in a French braid, wearing blue skinny jeans and a black tucked-in t-shirt, standing with her back to the camera in front of a futuristic Empire State Building in 2030. This side features a sleek, ultra-modern cityscape in muted silver, blue, and gray tones with glowing neon lights. On the right side, the same girl is depicted in front of the Empire State Building during its construction era, with scaffolding all around and an old-world charm, depicted in warm sepia tones with hints of muted gold. A thin glowing line divides the two halves in the middle to emphasize the time-travel concept.
The book title "The Time Traveler" is in a clean, bold sans-serif font with a futuristic aesthetic, slightly glowing, placed at the top center across both halves. The author name "Sophia Aughinbaugh" is in a classy serif font at the bottom, subtly blending with the overall design.
The girl's figure occupies the center of both halves, emphasized as the primary focus. Each side includes distinct coloring of the respective timelines (futuristic vs. historical) with a seamless vertical split at the center dividing the two. The title font bridges across both halves in a manner that unifies the design, while the author name remains at the bottom on the futuristic side.
The visual composition leverages the duality of timelines, embodying the science fiction genre and the themes of beauty and confusion, with the Empire State Building acting as an anchor linking the past and future. The girl's figure adds relatability and grounds the narrative within the design, while the glowing line at the center symbolizes the divide and connection of time. The futuristic bold sans-serif font conveys the modern sci-fi aesthetic, while the serif author name enhances elegance, making the design timeless. The matte finish, combined with spot UV and embossing, adds depth and interactivity to create a sensory delight that captivates readers at first glance.
