Visual Composition:

A serene sunset fills the background, with soft hues of orange, pink, and gold blending into deep purple and navy. Silhouetted in the foreground is a male soldier in military attire, standing with an air of contemplation and peace. His rifle is slung over his back, and his posture is relaxed, facing the horizon. The texture of subtle clouds adds depth to the sky, and rays from the setting sun subtly frame the figure, emphasizing his silhouette.

Design Typography:

The title "Countdown till Calm" is in an elegant serif font, bold yet spaced out, in a gradient that mimics the warm tones of the sunset. The author’s name, "Harper Do," is in a smaller, modern sans-serif font, centered at the bottom in white.

Design Layout:

The soldier silhouette dominates the lower-middle section of the cover, with the sunset occupying the majority of the space above. The book title is placed in the upper third, slightly curved upward to follow the arc of the sun. "Harper Do" is horizontal, centered along the bottom margin, leaving ample space around other elements for an uncluttered appearance.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The sunset is a calm and universally soothing symbol, perfect for a short story involving reflection and contentment. The soldier’s silhouette alludes to the mysterious nature of his journey and also conveys emotional depth without overwhelming the calm scenery. Using a serif font for the title creates a timeless, reflective feeling, while the sans-serif for the author's name adds a modern touch to balance tradition and contemporary design. The layout ensures a reader's eye naturally gravitates between the title and the focal figure, anchoring the narrative implications of the book. Finally, the choice of materials reinforces the tactile experience of calm and quality, while spot gloss for the title ensures it stands out without disrupting the balance of the design.
