Design DNA
Template: white canvas with black-and-white portrait photography and black type; colour only comes from the book covers. A full-bleed moody portrait hero ends in the author's name in a huge grotesk, with a small book mockup floating on the photo. A right-aligned bio, a 3x2 shelf of varied cover designs with genre and price, a pinned numbered 'why these books' strip, a quote card with four stats, a journal grid, an events table with dates, venues and thumbnails, FAQ, a black newsletter band and a giant grey name footer.
