Young adult Book Cover Design (Evoking simple, elegant, and cheerful)

Visuals: Three young university students in informal outfits sit near the base of a glowing globe, surrounded by warm autumn tones—red leaves gently falling, pinkish-orange sky blending into a yellow gradient sunshine, fading into a rich green lower half. The globe radiates a soft luminescent outline. In the background, faint geometric patterns symbolize innovation and creative thinking.

Typography: Modern sans-serif font for the title ("Think Like a Pro") in bold, with a soft gradient coloring (yellow and pink). Subheading ("Design Thinking untuk Generasi Inovatif") in elegant but subtler sans-serif styled smaller below the title. Author's name, "Mas Hadi," in handwritten cursive placed at the bottom right in white.

Layout: White dominates the top third of the cover, housing the title. The middle features a bright yellow sunburst transitioning into green tones at the bottom, with the students and globe centrally placed. The red leaves and geometric patterns flow diagonally across, tying the composition together. The author's name is in the lower corner, balancing the design.

Explanation: The visual composition is designed to capture the reader's attention with a blend of cheerful and innovative elements—autumn hues combined with lively green and pink tones that appeal to Gen-Z’s preference for modern, vibrant aesthetics. The globe symbolizes design thinking's global approach, while the geometric patterns provide a subtle nod to innovation and intellect. Typography strikes a balance between boldness and elegance, making the title stand out while maintaining a youthful energy through cursive elements. The layout guides the viewer's eye from the clear, bright white top to the colorful centerpiece and down to the grounded green bottom. Finally, using matte stock creates a classy, non-reflective finish, while the spot gloss accents add texture and draw attention to pivotal elements, perfectly aligning with the book’s cheerful yet professional tone.
