Copy-ready prompt
This minimalist literary book cover features a refined East Asian editorial style, a vertical composition, and a warm off-white paper background with a delicate grainy printing texture. The image is vertically divided into two large abstract areas: the upper left half is a rough, gray, torn paper shape, and the lower left corner is a deep black block. Emerging from the black area is a striking white theatrical mask outline, with only a black slit for the eye; its large proportions and upward tilt suggest alienation and a hidden identity. At the bottom center where the gray and white areas meet, a small, solitary figure in a dark long coat stands on the edge of a narrow triangle, facing forward, emphasizing loneliness and vulnerability. From near the top center, a thin, slightly wavy red line hangs down, connecting in the middle to a soft red circular stamp-like disc, aligned with the figure below. A striking, bold, vertically typed Chinese calligraphy title is placed at the right center:{argument name="title text" default="No Longer Human"} Next to it, add a vertical line of Japanese pronunciation: "Ningenshikkaku". On the far right edge, add a vertical line of thin black quotations: "—My misfortune lies precisely in my lack of the ability to refuse—". In the upper left corner, add a small black vertical line of author and translator information: "[Japan] Osamu Dazai | Author Yang Wei | Translator". Below, add a short two-line Chinese sentence: "I am sorry for being born." In the lower right corner, add a small red vertical label: "Dazai Osamu's representative work". Below, add a small three-line black publication information block: "No Longer Human", "Dazai Osamu", "Dazai Osamu". In the lower left corner, add a small black publisher information block: "Shanghai Translation Publishing House 2024", with a short horizontal line below it. Using restrained white space, asymmetrical balance, original paper collage edges, and ink and gouache textures, with soft charcoal black, gray and faded vermilion red tones, it presents an elegant literary melancholy and creates a high-end modern Chinese novel cover design.
