Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition creates a striking and symbolic representation of the protagonist's inner conflict, with the tornado embodying her fear and magic, simultaneously destructive and protective. The golden and blue color palette ties into the fantasy genre while symbolizing strength (gold) and emotional freedom (blue). The glowing feathers add an ethereal quality, highlighting the magical theme. The typography complements the theme perfectly; the distressed serif font for "Unbound" mirrors the protagonist’s fragmented emotions, while the sans-serif font for "Emz" adds modernity and subtle professionalism. The paper materials, with textured matte and spot UV gloss, offer a tactile and visual contrast, creating a premium feel befitting the fantasy genre. This design is both visually engaging and thematically resonant.
