Cover Design Brief – The Rooms We Built (Final — with inside covers) --- 1. Book Information Title: The Rooms We Built Subtitle: An ever‑ending road of moments Author Name: Bob Cassens Genre: Memoir / Wellness / Philosophy Trim Size: 5.5" x 8.5" Page Count: ~86 pages (with blank pages for reflection) --- 2. Base Color A warm, muted slate gray flows continuously from the front cover, across the spine, to the back cover. It should feel deep enough to be quiet, light enough to feel open — not black, but with a subtle warmth that invites the reader in. --- 3. Inside Covers Front and back inside covers are left blank and printed in the same warm slate gray as the cover. This creates a seamless transition from the outside of the book to the interior. The reader opens the book and enters the same quiet space before the text begins. --- 4. Front Cover Image: A dark hallway running diagonally from the bottom left corner toward the top right. At the top right, a single door is slightly ajar, with a sliver of warm light spilling through. The hallway should feel spacious, still, and quiet — not claustrophobic. Mood: Quiet, calm, mysterious. The door is not closed. It is not locked. It is waiting. Text: · Title: The Rooms We Built — centered, in a clean serif font (Garamond, Caslon, or similar) · Subtitle: An ever‑ending road of moments — smaller, centered beneath the title · Author name: Bob — centered beneath the subtitle Typography: Clean, classic serif. Title and author name centered, overlapping the hallway image. The title should remain readable against the image — a subtle dark overlay or shadow may be used. --- 5. Back Cover Image: A winding road that begins at the bottom left and curves gently upward toward the top right, receding into mist. No car, no figure, no destination visible. Text: Placed in the upper left area, off the road, centered and in paragraph form, with generous white space around it: "The Rooms We Built is a quiet, honest book about perception, presence, and the spaces we carry with us." No other text on the back cover. No author bio. No barcode. No review quotes. --- 6. Spine · Clean, centered, understated · Background color matching the front cover (warm slate gray) · Title: THE ROOMS WE BUILT — reading top to bottom · Author: BOB — centered beneath the title · Font matching the front cover --- 7. What the Designer Should Know · The book is a collection of moments, not a linear story · It is built on white space, perception, and quiet reflection · The cover should feel like a room you're not sure you've entered before · No people. No faces. No clever typography · The tone is honest, generous, and still · The front and back covers are a visual conversation: straight hallway (front) vs. winding road (back) — a journey inward and a journey outward · The inside covers are blank but in the same warm slate gray to extend the atmosphere --- 8. Deliverables · Print‑ready PDF (for the printer) · Digital files (for Amazon, website, social media) · Editable source files (if changes are needed later)
