Design Concept

Visual Composition:

The cover features a whimsical Anglo-Saxon village nestled under a rosy sunset sky. In the foreground, a smiling, slightly disheveled time-travel tour guide (wearing a modern blazer over a tunic and holding a pocket watch) stands leaning against a broken “TIME TOURS AGENCY” wooden sign, subtly cracked. A mischievous tourist in Viking-era clothing peeks from behind a tree holding a glowing futuristic gadget. Small humorous details — like a chicken wearing sunglasses or a detective's magnifying glass hanging from a medieval spear — pepper the scene.

Design Typography:

The title, “Saxon Shenanigans,” is written in bold, playful serif fonts inspired by Anglo-Saxon runes but with softened and modernized lines for readability. The author’s name, “Adam Croft,” is in a clear, contemporary sans-serif at the bottom center to create balance and clarity.

Design Layout:

The title is placed prominently across the top of the cover, intersecting slightly with the sunrise in the background. The character drawings dominate the middle portion, creating engagement without overwhelming the humor-laden details of the environment. The author’s name is centered at the bottom, framed by illustrative village cobblestones that create a subtle base for the design.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition combines the whimsical, witty tone of a detective story and Anglo-Saxon aesthetics. The humorous details, such as tourists with futuristic devices in a historical setting, immediately communicate the time-travel and comedic elements of the story. The serif font for the title reflects the historical theme, while its softened style makes it approachable and lighthearted, matching the tone. A simple sans-serif font balances out the modern aspect, representing the time-travel agency’s sleek nature. The layout maximizes engagement, starting with the eye-catching title at the top, moving through the central illustrations, and ending with the author’s name at the bottom for recognition. The parchment-inspired texture of the semi-matte laminate perfectly ties the historical flavor to present-day sensibilities.
