5. Book Cover

This cover is designed to evoke calm, restorative wonder—an invitation to slow down and listen. The pastoral lake scene, filtered with an oil-paint effect, communicates softness and nostalgia, while the flock of birds adds motion and scale. High-contrast, calligraphic typography with a soft drop shadow sits low on the composition to mirror the shoreline and draw the eye across the water. Color choices lean into greens and sky blues to suggest renewal and serenity. The intent is to promise reflective, nature-forward content at a glance, balancing readability with mood so the cover stands out in thumbnails yet remains elegant in print.
