Design Concept
A single deep red rose sits at the center, its petals adorned with faint water droplets, some resembling bloodstains. The background is a subtle charcoal gradient with shadowy swirls of smoke, creating a mysterious, haunting vibe. Shattered glass cracks radiate outward from behind the rose, faintly embedded into the background. Thin wisps of black lace flow diagonally across the lower edge, adding a touch of sensuality and elegance.
"Soft" is in an elegant, flowing script font, slightly italicized, with a faint gold embossing effect to emphasize its delicate tone. "Obsessions" appears in a bold, distressed serif font, in a deep burgundy hue, creating a contrast in intensity. The author's name, "Daryah Toliver," is placed at the bottom in clean, modern, uppercase lettering, in a soft silver tone.
The rose is positioned centrally on the cover with shadowy smoke swirling around it, acting as an organic frame. The title is placed near the top-middle section, with "Soft" slightly larger and placed directly above "Obsessions" for layered depth. The subtitle (if included) follows directly under the title in smaller, minimalist italicized text. Delicate lace wisps flow diagonally along the lower border, while the author's name is spaced evenly at the bottom.
This design expertly merges symbolism and mood to convey the darkly romantic and sophisticated tone of "Soft Obsessions." The central rose, with its blood-like droplets, anchors the design as a potent visual of passion and obsession. The shattered glass effect suggests emotional fragility and breaks societal norms, while the smoky and lacey textures deepen the sense of mystery and sensuality. The use of script and serif fonts mirrors the contrast within the story—delicacy alongside intensity. Matte black paper gives a moody, rich base, while the rose and title’s spot UV gloss accentuation draw immediate attention to the focal elements, making the cover both elegant and unforgettable.
