The cover art is one of the most prominent and attractive textual thresholds because it is the first thing the recipient encounters and sees, especially since it contains all the information the reader needs to know about the book, which establishes a unique interaction between them. Humans are visual beings, stimulated by images, paintings, and covers. Therefore, we find them looking at the book with their eyes before anything else, contributing to a comprehensive view of the book that entices the recipient and draws them to read the text. Coordinating the cover art is essential and important for translating the contents of a book or novel, as we live in the age of the image. Those who want to present an idea, prove an opinion, or formulate a specific vision draw an image of a text, idea, or book, which in turn expresses the contents of that book. The image is the undisputed icon of expression and the core of influence in our era.
