Design Concept
A dark cityscape at night, with shadows cast by towering skyscrapers. The foreground features a mysterious figure in silhouette, barely discernible among the shadows, wearing a trench coat and hat. The color palette is dominated by shades of black, grey, and deep blue, with subtle highlights of crimson scattered throughout to convey a sense of lurking danger and deception.
Chiller font for the main title "Shadow of Deception" in large, bold letters; a classic, understated serif font for "Contract of Lies" positioned below in smaller size; and a sleek sans-serif for the author's name "H. N. Robertson" at the top of the cover.
The title "Shadow of Deception" spans the top third of the cover, wrapped around the silhouetted figure, creating a sense of intrigue. "Contract of Lies" is centered near the bottom, subtly integrated into the shadows of the cityscape. The author's name, "H. N. Robertson," is placed at the top, using a smaller font size to maintain focus on the book's title.
The visual composition focuses on creating a sense of intrigue and mystery, centralizing a noir theme with a shadowed figure against a menacing cityscape. The use of Chiller font complements the thriller theme, contributing to an unsettling atmosphere that aligns with the title's promise of deception. The matte paper with a soft-touch finish enhances the tactile experience of the cover, ensuring that the dark and mysterious elements stand out effectively, creating a visually cohesive design that resonates with the book’s genre and mood.
