Book Cover Design 書籍封面設計 — 艾蘭小島設計

Project Brief

The design goal was to create a cover that captures attention while conveying the depth of the subject’s story, combining modern aesthetics with tactile quality. The cover should evoke the authenticity and emotional tension behind the story, standing out among biography titles.

Design Rationale

The design emphasizes the contrast between a celebrity’s public image and their inner loneliness, reflecting the struggles and contradictions behind fame. A frosted glass effect partially obscures the figure of the celebrity, hinting at the “hidden” stories. Neon tones contrast with the deep, muted background, further highlighting this theme.
