Nivdung

This book cover design assignment is based on the autobiography titled “Nivdung” (Cactus), symbolizing resilience, survival, and endurance through harsh emotional and life conditions. The subject reflects a personal journey shaped by struggle, isolation, and the ability to thrive despite adversity—much like a cactus that survives in extreme environments.

The cover design visually interprets this metaphor through a minimal yet powerful composition, using sharp forms, textured elements, and a restrained colour palette to reflect both pain and strength. The typography is kept grounded and expressive, reinforcing the raw honesty of an autobiography, while the overall layout balances simplicity with emotional intensity, echoing the inner toughness and quiet growth represented in the title.
