Short story Book Cover Design (Evoking amor, curiosidade, and fofura)

Visuals: A cozy and intimate winter scene featuring Duda and Gustavo standing under a mistletoe, surrounded by soft, gently falling snow. Duda with her shoulder-length brown hair and petite frame, and Gustavo, tall with blonde hair, are looking into each other's eyes. Their expressions are a mix of warmth and playfulness. Around them, festive Christmas decorations like baubles and twinkling lights enhance the seasonal mood.

Typography: A whimsical yet elegant serif font for the title "Um vísco para o meu amor" in a bold, festive red. The author’s name, Maria Luiza Galvão, is in a smaller, classic serif font, placed at the bottom.

Layout: The title is arched over the scene, drawing the eye to the center where the couple is the focal point. The author’s name is centrally aligned at the bottom, beneath the illustration. Snowflakes and decorative elements are scattered gracefully across the cover, adding depth and a hint of magic.

Explanation: The visual composition captures the theme of love and warmth inherent in a festive romantic short story. By placing Duda and Gustavo under a mistletoe amidst Christmas decor, the cover conveys the book's setting and emotional tone of love and curiosity. Typography choices with a whimsical serif font in red for the title suggest both romance and cheerful holiday energy, fitting the book’s genre and elements. The central layout ensures the focus remains on the couple’s connection, drawing readers into their story immediately. The matte material with spot UV highlights provides a tactile, inviting finish, adding layers of visual interest and texture that are easy to recognize and symbolize the cozy, heartwarming elements of the narrative.
