Dreamy Young Adult Book Cover Design (Featuring sunset, waves, and beach)

Visuals: A dreamy sunset casts a golden glow over a quaint Corsican village. The village’s terracotta rooftops and winding cobblestone streets stand in contrast to lush greenery. Below, the serene Mediterranean Sea shimmers, with soft waves reaching the sandy shore. In the background, rolling hills fade into the horizon under warm-toned skies.

Typography: A handwritten cursive font for the title, "A French Cover," in an off-white color, placed prominently across the sunset sky. The author's name, "Erika Cerasi Chartrand," is in a small, elegant serif typeface at the bottom, in a subtle dark gray color.

Layout: The village scene takes up the majority of the cover, with the sunset visible in the top third. The title is centered in the middle, integrated into the sunset’s warm tones, and the author's name is positioned along the bottom edge.

Explanation: The visual composition captures the romantic and dreamy atmosphere of the novel’s setting, emphasizing the idyllic nature of a Corsican village at sunset. The cursive typography conveys a sense of whimsy and adolescence, aligning with the young adult genre. Meanwhile, the serif typeface for the author's name keeps the design elegant and professional. Arranging the title over the sunset integrates it naturally into the scene while ensuring it is the immediate focal point. The matte finish gives the cover a sophisticated and soft touch, and the spot gloss adds subtle depth, aligning perfectly with the dreamy and evocative tone of the book.
