The color palette—blue, yellow, and white—was chosen for its vibrant, uplifting feel, capturing the lighthearted tone of the collection. The whimsical doodles add a sense of motion and fun, mirroring the playful emotional expectation. The typography juxtaposes the artistic elements, with the title font enhancing the homemade and quirky nature of the design, while the sans-serif addition for the author’s name maintains visual clarity. Matte lamination was selected for a modern, tactile cover, emphasizing the minimalism of the design. Spot UV gloss enhances the standout elements, ensuring the title and shorts immediately grab attention while offering a tactile dimension perfect for in-store browsing.
