The title page refers to the first page after the book is opened (that is, the second page of the whole book), and refers to a single page with the title, publisher name and author name printed under the backing paper.

The ultimate goal of cover design is not only to attract readers instantly, but also to impress readers for a long time, which can reflect the designer's perception of aesthetic consciousness and the pursuit and innovation of formal beauty. Whether the meaning it expresses is rich or not and whether its vitality is long is reflected in its creativity. Therefore, creativity is the life of cover design.
