Daily UI 001 - Landing Page Design

Hi Dribblers!

For the 3rd UI Design Challenge, I designed a landing page for one of my favorite books, The God of Small things, by #ArundhatiRoy. It is is a really tragic story about seven-year-old twins who see their world shaken irrevocably by the arrival of their beautiful young cousin.

The original cover is beautiful, but busy in my opinion, and so I decided to redesign it.

I chose elements from the book that resonated with me: like, who chooses an anthurium for their favorite flower? As for the dead bird, I felt it symbolized how trapped the characters seemed in their own circumstances. I thought that the juxtaposition of life and death would make for a powerful cover.

What do you think? Feel free to leave your feedback.
