The use of two contrasting silhouettes showcases the distinct character journeys of Elle and Katherine while the dividing line symbolizes the societal and self-imposed barriers they face. The vibrant colors splashing across the monochrome position emphasize the book’s LGBTQ+ genre, becoming a metaphor for love triumphing over repression and rediscovering the "colors" in life. The typography complements the design’s emotional tones by pairing the serif font, which feels traditional and constrained, with painted overlays that visually “break free.” This contrasts against clean sans-serif text, which keeps the design contemporary. The author’s name in script font adds a layer of intimacy, mimicking handwriting and storytelling. A matte laminated cover feels smooth and professional while subtly emphasizing the emotional depth of the story. The spot UV on the title and colorful paint strokes adds tactile intrigue, drawing readers' attention and reflecting the transformative power of love.
