Bold, distressed typeface for the title in blood red with jagged edges, slightly cracked and uneven, as if scratched onto the cover. The author's name is smaller but in an elegant cursive font in muted gray for contrast.

Design Layout:

The title "Stuffed" is centered near the top, underlined by a thin scratch-mark graphic. The stuffed animal is placed large in the middle of the cover with its eyes chillingly glancing upward to make viewers uneasy. Lola Westnidge’s name is placed subtly at the bottom-right corner in an understated font.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition draws on common fear triggers (such as twisted childhood nostalgia represented by the torn stuffed animal) and uses muted, unsettling colors to amplify the horror theme. The distressed typography reflects desperation and suspense, aligning with the genre's emotional tone. The elegant cursive of the author's name provides contrast but doesn’t overpower the title and image. The layout ensures immediate focus on the stuffed animal while guiding the eye to other elements smoothly. The materials emphasize the tactile horror experience with matte paper and embossing, making the cover visually and physically memorable.
