Expect Emotions: I want that when my readers see this book cover, they see isolation, power and moral struggle. They feel beauty and ugly at the same time. They see a man in power who sends people off to their death and a woman whose conscience can't take it anymore. They see a dog yearning to be understood. They see jupiter in all its glory but loneliness.
Expect Elements: Transformation, Exploration and The power of perception.
Expect Layout: “It was not the Jupiter he had known through the televisor. He had expected it to be different, but not like this. He had expected a hell of ammonia rain and stinking fumes and the deafening, thundering tumult of the storm. He had expected swirling clouds and fog and the snarling flicker of monstrous thunderbolts.”  In earth eyes, Jupiter was a monstrous planet, a soupy maelstrom. Through Jovian eyes or in Jovian form, “the snaking bolts of lightning are just flares of pure ecstasy across a painted sky”
Expect Color: Lavendar and White, with streaks of gold

Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A vast, swirling landscape of Jupiter's storms dominates the cover, painted in hues of lavender, white, and streaks of gold. In the foreground, a silhouette of a powerful man stands gazing out, with a pensive woman beside him, her posture suggesting emotional conflict. A dog sits beside them, its eyes reflecting a yearning. The sky above is a mesmerizing blend of tumultuous clouds and lightning, with the glory of Jupiter visible beyond.

Design Typography:

The title "Desertion" is set in a bold, futuristic sans-serif font, slightly stylized with subtle jagged edges to resemble lightning. Clifford Simak's name is in a classic serif font at the bottom, lending a sense of timelessness.

Design Layout:

The title "Desertion" is prominently displayed at the top, capturing immediate attention. The author’s name sits at the bottom, maintaining balance. The central image flows from bottom to top, capturing the journey from personal turmoil to celestial grandeur.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition uses Jupiter's dramatic storms to set a backdrop of both beauty and chaos, representing the isolation inherent in the science fiction genre. The silhouettes of the man and woman introduce the moral struggle and power dynamics, visually suggesting themes of transformation and exploration. The yearning dog adds an element of emotional depth, hinting at the power of perception. The choice of lavender and gold adds a surreal, otherworldly feel while maintaining a sense of majesty. The combination of bold and classic fonts in the typography contrasts the futuristic with the timeless, further emphasizing the book’s themes. The glossy cardstock brings life to the vibrant colors, ensuring the cover is eye-catching and memorable, reflecting the duality of beauty and ugliness, inviting readers to explore the complexities within.
