How to design the cover of modern poetry

First, it can be mainly divided into four aspects: lines, fonts, pictures and colors.

Second, lines

First, arrange the cover with as few lines as possible, that is, align all the contents of the cover along the lines. The purpose is to reduce the visual burden of users and improve the reading experience. By observing the reference line, it can be found that the center alignment is more stable, while the unilateral alignment is more flexible, which can be selected according to the specific situation.

Secondly, you can guide or balance the user's vision by adding lines.

Third, fonts.

First of all, the font style must be consistent with the cover. Traditional covers can't use modern fonts. Secondly, changing font attributes can play a decorative role.

Author's summary of font attributes:

Different fonts, sizes, thicknesses, colors and contrasts.

Add background/border/underline/shadow to emphasize the content.

Change word/word/line spacing and add embellishments.

Fourth, pictures.

First of all, it must be clear enough that the author hates pictures that do not meet the commercial quality.

Secondly, the picture is the core element that determines the tone of the cover. The choice of cover font and overall color often depends on the style of the final picture.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) color

Colors should be consistent with the feeling of pictures and covers, and warm colors should not be used for serious topics. You can choose a certain color of the picture as the main color tone through the color picker, and then form another color as the emphasis color by adjusting the hue.

Color, I think, is a perceptual thing, and there is no specific methodology. Believe in your eyes, the premise is to cultivate a pair of eyes that discover beauty.
