Design Approach:
The cover uses soft, desaturated colors and a spacious composition to avoid emotional overload. Organic lines and gentle type treatments were selected to complement the journal’s comforting tone. The absence of harsh edges or vivid contrast was intentional—this was about emotional resonance, not visual flash.
