The Dutch silhouette within the clouds creates intrigue and tension, reflecting the melodramatic and historical aspects of the story. The sepia-toned background evokes a sense of nostalgia, matching the historical setting. For typography, choosing an elegant serif for the title "BORDERLINE" helps convey the seriousness and depth of the genre, while a subtle sans-serif supports smaller text elements without overwhelming the main image. The layout's vertical alignment not only frames the key elements effectively but also guides the viewer’s eye from the title down through the narrative elements. The use of matte paper stock gives the cover a tactile quality that enhances its historical context, with the spot gloss on the title providing a subtle contrast to draw the reader's attention.
