Young adult Book Cover Design (Evoking writing)

Visuals: A cluster of smooth, rounded pebbles aligned to form the letter "A" in the center of the cover. The pebbles are in varying earthy tones, ranging from muted oranges to soft grays, placed against a bright orange background with subtle gradients. A chalk texture effect is applied around the edges of the pebbles, giving a hand-drawn, youthful feel. Light sparkles and a soft shadow effect add depth.

Typography: Playful sans-serif font with hand-written vibes, using a clean, rounded shape for the title "Pebbles." The title is placed at the top-center of the cover in white, with a thin outline in dark orange to enhance visibility. The subtitle “Writing Series, Book - A” is styled in smaller bold lettering underneath the pebble "A" in medium gray tones.

Layout: Title at the top-center, the pebble-formed "A" below it as the focal point, subtitle centered underneath the "A," and a clean bottom margin for empty space to balance the overall look.

Explanation: The pebbles forming an "A" directly connect to the book’s title and concept while representing the youthful and educational theme, aligning with the "Writing Series" aspect. The bright orange background creates an energetic, eye-catching setting while maintaining warmth and relatability for a young adult audience. The sans-serif font brings out a casual, friendly tone appealing to young readers. The tactile gloss effect on the "A" creates a visual and physical connection, engaging readers even before they open the book. Choosing matte paper ensures clarity in design, limits glare, and feels modern and high-quality in the hands of the audience. The layout ensures focus remains on the central element, the pebble "A," while keeping the text legible and elegant. This thoughtful balance invites curiosity and creates a memorable identity for the book.
