Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A textured, worn-out map with a sepia-toned background. The map features intricately drawn pathways, compass symbols, and faint landmarks (such as a heart shape and a cross) subtly mixed into the design to signify "self-love" and "intimacy with God." The top right has a watercolor horizon with vibrant hues transitioning from sunset to sunrise, symbolizing hope and faith. A faint glow radiates from the center of the map as though light is breaking through, emphasizing determination and trust.

Design Typography:

The title uses a hand-lettered serif font with soft edges, creating a warm, personal feeling. "Self-Love" and "Deeper Intimacy with God" are highlighted with slightly larger font sizes to emphasize the dual journey. The author's name, “Stacey Edwards,” is in a clean, minimalistic sans-serif font near the bottom for balance.

Design Layout:

The title is positioned at the top center, arched slightly to follow the curve of the map. The subtitle is directly below the title but slightly indented, centered within the light glow of the map. The author's name is at the bottom center of the cover. The background map stretches edge-to-edge, blending the worn-out journal aesthetic with the watercolor horizon. The pathways and compass are evenly scattered along the map, directing focus toward the heart and cross in a subtle but central way.

Rationale Behind the Design:

Visually, this design incorporates a journey map concept to symbolize the spiritual and emotional paths of the title. The sepia-toned, worn-out texture reflects resilience and determination, while the landmarks subtly convey love and faith. The glow emphasizes hope and clarity in the midst of the journey. For typography, the hand-lettered serif font mimics a personal, heartfelt touch, echoing the self-help genre and the intimate tone of the book, whereas the sans-serif font for the author's name keeps it contemporary and professional. Materials enhance the tactile experience with a soft-touch matte finish and embossed elements, reinforcing the emotional depth and faith-centered theme by creating a physical connection for the reader.
