Expect Layout: I ran towards the storeroom with determination. The pounding of my heart pulsed in my head. I hadn't even turned the handle when the storeroom door creaked open on its hinges with a shrill sound. It had been a long time since I had been there. The smell of stale dampness filled my chest, and I coughed. I hadn't taken more than a few steps when an old wooden box slid off the shelf above me, shattered at my feet, and semi-burned and worn papers, with Bibi Roghieh's crooked handwriting, danced in the air and settled on the storeroom floor before my stunned eyes. Nothing was natural. I turned to flee, but a deep dampness from an unknown hot breath filled my face and passed by me. The light was dim, and I saw nothing. A moment later, a rustling sound echoed in the space, as if something was being dragged across the floor. I bent down towards the shelves and, as I meticulously scanned around to find the source of the sound, a black robe emerged from behind a shelf, and the door slammed shut.

Design Concept

Visual Composition:

A dark and dimly lit storeroom with wooden shelves extending into a shadowy abyss. The foreground showcases an old, shattered wooden box on the floor, with scattered semi-burned papers fluttering mid-air. Faint Persian handwriting is visible on some papers. A black, ghostly robe emerges ominously from behind one of the shelves. The door in the background is slightly ajar, with faint, eerie light spilling through the cracks. The atmosphere is dense and filled with suspense, with slight smoke or fog adding an air of mystery.

Design Typography:

The title, "بابازار در چنگ باد," appears in high-contrast white in a jagged, ominous Persian font reminiscent of hand-carved letters or ink scratches. The author's name, “Maryam Bohloul,” is placed subtly below the title in a smaller, clean-serif font in dim gray, ensuring it doesn’t overshadow the title.

Design Layout:

The title takes up the upper central part of the cover, aligning horizontally with the faint light coming through the storeroom door. The black robe subtly divides the scene diagonally, leading the viewer’s eye down to the shattered box. The author's name is placed towards the bottom, unobtrusively sliding into the corner. The burnt papers flutter across the middle of the layout, giving life to the otherwise dark composition.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition evokes a sense of dread and suspense, aligning with the horror genre. The smoky surroundings, hovering papers, and emerging robe add layers of intrigue and mystery. The Persian typography integrates cultural authenticity while maintaining a striking aesthetic in the darker context. The robust, matte stock enhances the eerie darkness and tension conveyed in the imagery. The subtle glossy detailing makes key elements pop, offering moments of tension and terror amidst the visual stillness. By centering the title and using contrasting textures, the cover commands attention while mirroring the unpredictable and ominous tone of the story.
