Design Concept
A pair of radiant golden angel wings occupies the center of the cover. Half of the wings are bathed in darkness, transitioning into a jagged blackened form with tiny cracks, specks of blood dripping along the edges, and shards falling away into a sea of skulls below. The background is predominantly deep gray, fading to black at the edges, with a faint mist swirling ominously. Splashes of deep crimson blood splatter across the entire scene, adding to the sense of chaos and emotional suffering.
The title "Love and Shot" is written in a bold, elegant serif font with a metallic golden texture, placed prominently at the top center of the page. Below that, in slightly smaller golden font, the author's name, "Dania Rostia," is subtly italicized. The title has faint blood splatters at the edges of the letters to integrate it into the atmosphere of the cover seamlessly.
The wings are the centerpiece of the composition, taking up most of the middle space. The golden-to-black transition serves as a visual focus. The title is centered above the wings, while the author’s name appears at the bottom of the cover. The misty, skull-laden background fills the negative space, creating depth. Face-like shadows subtly emerge in the background mist, hinting at hidden suffering.
The visual composition places emphasis on the vivid symbolism of the darkening golden wings and the skulls to coincide with themes of pain, suffering, and darkness in a romance setting. The transition from light (golden) to dark (blackened) visually mirrors the story's emotional arc, while the blood and skulls amplify the anguish. The rich typography combines elegance (golden serif font) with a hint of grit (blood splatters) to ensure the romance theme still feels refined yet tragic. The matte and glossy contrast in the materials captures the dichotomy of beauty and destruction, immersing the reader even before they open the book. This design aligns with the genre's emotional weight while being visually captivating and genre-appropriate.
