Design Concept
A dreamlike watercolor illustration of a solitary woman standing by a field of wildflowers. The background uses a gradient of bold colors transitioning from deep purple to soft pink, evoking a sense of melancholy and nostalgia. Whispering clouds wrap around her, adding a surreal touch. The imagery suggests a feeling of being lost amidst beauty.
The title, "Before I Go," is presented in a bold, elegant serif font with a slightly vintage style. The author's name, Cyndy Gatewood, is placed in a complementary sans-serif font at the bottom, maintaining legibility and balance.
The title occupies the top third of the cover, centered, with the woman's figure slightly off-center towards the right. The author's name is placed at the bottom center. The dreamy illustration occupies the majority of the cover, with the wildflowers spilling slightly over the bottom edge.
The cover design harnesses bold colors yet maintains an air of sadness and introspection suitable for women’s fiction. The use of a watercolor illustration imparts a dreamlike quality, emphasizing themes of loss and nostalgia. The choice of fonts—a vintage serif for the title and a clear sans-serif for the author's name—balances elegance with modernity, making the cover inviting and readable. The layout effectively channels the viewer's gaze, creating a harmonious balance between the text and artwork. Materials are selected to enhance the sensory experience of the book—smooth matte paper invites touch, and its subtle texture adds depth, mirroring the emotional layers of the story within.
