Design Concept
A stark, textured white paper background with a burnt edge effect, featuring smudges of blood spreading from the lower half, giving a visceral intensity. A solitary silhouette of a young boy holding a gun is positioned slightly off-center at the bottom, with faint crumples and creases overlapping the illustration to echo a sense of fragility and tension.
The title, "Kertas Putih," is presented in a bold, distressed serif font, with rough, hand-drawn imperfections to emulate the look of scratches. The author’s name, "Rifqoh Nafi'ah," is in a clean, sans-serif font placed subtly at the bottom right in blood-red color.
Title aligned slightly above the center, the silhouette below it, and crimson smudges forming a visual bridge. The author’s name is placed away from the focal point to maintain intensity and not over-clutter the space.
This design evokes strong emotions of fragility, violence, and innocence lost, perfectly resonating with the short story genre. The burnt edge and blood smudges on the textured white backdrop symbolize the starkness and vulnerability of the storyline ("Kertas Putih" translates to "White Paper"). The distressed serif font for the title visually correlates with the themes of turmoil and imperfection, while the minimalist sans-serif font for the author’s name keeps the focus where it belongs. The matte-finished textured paper stock enhances the tangible rawness of the book's themes, making the cover a sensory experience that compels a connection before the pages are even turned.
