Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A playful cartoonish scene of a vintage quill writing on ancient parchment set against a backdrop of subtle, sepia-toned historical maps and documents. The quill, animated with a charming face and expressive eyes, is in mid-motion, dripping ink that whimsically forms the book's title "kisah di balik puisi.".

Design Typography:

A blend of classic serif fonts with a hand-drawn style for the title, mirrored in a simpler sans-serif font for the author’s name, "Raja.".

Design Layout:

The title is prominently placed in the upper third of the cover, curving slightly. The animated quill and parchment dominate the center, while the author's name is elegantly positioned at the bottom. The background maps are faint and fill the entire back cover as well.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition creates a playful yet informative feel, mixing the whimsy of cartoons with historical gravitas. Using a vintage quill and parchment evokes the essence of history and poetry. The fonts enhance this feel; the serif for the title gives it an official, timeless quality while the hand-drawn touch keeps it approachable. The chosen layout is strategically designed to balance the elements, drawing attention sequentially from title to illustration to author. Using textured matte paper with embossed text intensifies the tactile experience, inviting readers to physically engage with the book’s historical narrative. This combination of elements is curated to ensure the cover is visually compelling, genre-representative, and unique.
