Publication Logo: Small but notable.
Author's Name: Color connects art swatch and 'Melancholic' blue. Large enough to notice, but small enough to send focus to the title, not the unknown author.
Personalized Symbol: Connects book theme.
Background: White space representing the canvas of a fresh 'Lexicon' & the holy 'Awesomeness' of God on the 'Spiritual Journey' in the title and subtitle.
Subtitle: Separate from title, leaving space for both title focus and subtitle understanding.
