The cover features a stark, grayscale image of a soccer field under a cloudy, oppressive sky, partially obscured by mist. In the foreground, there is a lone soccer ball, slightly deflated, resting on worn turf, symbolizing the end of an era. The edges of the cover are faded, mimicking aged photographs, enhancing the sense of nostalgia and loss.
The title "finale eines stürmers" is in a bold, serif font, delicately distressed to mirror wear and tear, while the author's name, Oliver stortz, is in a clean, light sans-serif font below the title. The text is in white to contrast against the darker background.
The title is prominently positioned at the top center of the cover, with "Oliver stortz" placed slightly smaller beneath it. The image dominates the background, creating an expansive feel that draws the viewer’s attention to the central objects – the ball and the empty field.
The visual composition aims to evoke the emotions of "trauer" (sorrow) and "schmerz" (pain) by using a grayscale image of an empty soccer field, which signifies the void and finality associated with an ending. The distressed serif font for the title supports the cover's nostalgic theme, while the clean sans-serif for the author’s name provides a modern touch. The layout ensures focus on the central imagery of the deflated soccer ball and the vast emptiness, suggesting a sense of abandonment and the passage of time. The matte, textured finish of the cover material complements the visual theme, offering a tangible feel that enhances the emotional resonance of the book's themes.
