Design Concept
The top 40% houses the book title and author information, with "云中门廊" placed vertically in hand-brushed拓碑体 at the center-left, exuding a sense of traditional aesthetics. Below it, in smaller 方正宋刻本, “——万国屋檐下的庐山” runs horizontally to create a subtle balance. In the bottom 60%, the foreground features a captivating zoomed-in shot of the arched portico of the 美庐别墅 as the main focus. Behind it, the silhouette of 牯岭别墅群 shrouded in soft, drifting mountain clouds establishes depth and ambiance. Subtly overlaying the bottom image zone are semi-transparent wrought iron Art Nouveau-style railing motifs, adding a vintage and artistic undertone. The color scheme harmonizes 青石色, cloud hues of 云絮白, gradual shades of stone and 民国砖红 accents in small graphic details like title dividers.
The main title "云中门廊" is rendered in custom 拓碑体, 75% transparent, 60pt size, with a fine ink-effect texture. The subtitle "——万国屋檐下的庐山" follows in 24pt 方正宋刻本 with 1.2 spacing, blending refinement and subtlety. The author names (钟艳,徐荫,唐云) are set in 汉仪旗黑45S in 9pt, aligned to the right upper golden ratio point.
Top 40% reserved for titles and author info, the text breaking vertical-horizontal monotony. Bottom 60% displays the layered image, foreground to background. Overlapping wrought iron railing pattern spans diagonally through the bottom third. Gradients transition from light gray-blue at the top to stone green below. Edges of the lower image have a photo-border vintage texture.
The visual composition balances textual and architectural forms, connecting the book’s themes of European-Chinese heritage dialogue. The portico, geometric ironwork, and foggy silhouettes of 牯岭别墅 resolutely tie to the Romanticism of 云中门廊's cultural exploration. The typographical hierarchy—handbrush 墨迹title and timeless serif subtext—guides the reader's gaze while preserving traditions. Material choices—like vintage stone green paper and subtle metallic UV details—emphasize both nostalgia and intellectual sophistication, reinforcing academic credibility and emotive architecture appreciation. Together, these complete a refined, emblematic travel genre masterpiece.
