To create an engaging cover page design for novels, start with understanding the genre. If it's a science - fiction novel, use futuristic elements in the design. The font for the title should be unique and easy to read. Add some interesting details like a spaceship or an alien for a sci - fi book. For the layout, keep it simple yet impactful. Don't overcrowd the cover. And make sure the author's name is in a visible but not too dominant place.
