The contrasting colors, primarily blue and white, bring a calm yet poignant atmosphere. Serif and sans-serif fonts combine to provide a modern yet elegant effect, suitable for literary fiction. The layout ensures that the eye is naturally drawn from the title to the central flower, then the chair below, emphasizing the journey from life to death. The choice of matte finish and textured cardstock ensures the cover feels as contemplative and reflective as its content.
