Design Concept
The cover showcases a dynamic and dramatic scene featuring a small wooden boat floating on turbulent royal-blue waters. A circular swirling portal made of crackling, golden energy dominates the center of the composition, with half the boat already passing through it into a darker, storm-filled dimension. In the background, towering over the scene, is a shadowy, cloaked humanoid figure with glowing eyes and faint, menacing tendrils extending towards the boat. The night sky above shifts from deep blue to glowing streaks of gold and dark purple as it blends into the supernatural elements.
The title, *The Risen God*, appears in a bold serif typeface, resembling gilded, cracked stone, placed slightly above the center to align with the portal. The author’s name, *David Gilchrist*, is situated at the bottom in a smaller, sleek sans-serif font in white with a subtle, glowing blue outline.
- The portal is the centerpiece, with the boat to the forefront passing through. - The shadowy figure looms in the background but blends slightly into the darker parts of the stormy dimension for tension. - The title is front and center, blending with the portal's crown for drama, while the author’s name remains grounded for balance below.
The visual composition creates an instantaneous sense of intrigue and adventure with the contrast of a supernatural portal pulling the viewer’s eye toward its dynamic energy while introducing danger in the shadowy figure. The use of royal blue establishes a classic fantasy tone, while the swirling golds and purples create an explosive, otherworldly allure. Typography choices reflect the fantasy genre with ornamental, cracked lettering for the title, giving it both an ancient and divine feel, while the clean author type keeps it professional and modern. The matte background paired with spot gloss creates tactile contrast, reinforcing the magical elements on the cover and enticing readers to discover what lies between the pages.
