Concept Brought to Life
The AI's Rationale
Visuals: A black and gray-toned cover depicting a broken mirror taking up most of the background. In the shattered glass shards, the main character’s face is visible, but each shard reflects a slightly altered version of him, with eerie and haunted variations. The reflections show an unsettling mix of emotions—fear, anger, and sorrow. The orange hue is subtly added as a glow emanating from behind the central shard, creating a disturbing, fiery, dim backlight that enhances the horror feel. The overall atmosphere is dark, foggy, and oppressive.
Typography: The title "Beneath Their Eyes" is written in eerie, distressed serif font with jagged edges, in burnt orange to stand out against the dark background. The author’s name "Dwayne Jules Bali" is smaller, in a simple, elegant sans-serif font in gray, placed subtly at the bottom center beneath the mirrored glass to not overpower the design.
Layout: - The broken mirror takes center stage, with the title aligned in the upper section of the cover, slightly tilted at disorderly angles to mimic the shards’ scattered look. - The author name is placed discreetly at the bottom in a clean linear layout. - The orange glow softly frames the mirror but doesn’t dominate the composition, keeping the primary focus on the unsettling reflections.
Explanation: The visual composition leverages the broken mirror to symbolize duality, swapped lives, and the horror of losing one’s soul. The variation in the reflections creates a direct connection to the horror theme, suggesting alternate identities with terrifying and sorrowful undertones. The orange glow ensures visual contrast and evokes both warmth and menace—critical for capturing emotional dread and sadness. Typography choices like the jagged serif for the title emphasize the genre’s unsettling aspects, while the minimal sans-serif for the author name provides clarity and balance. The material choice of matte paper contrasts beautifully with glossy embossed shards, making the book visually intriguing and tactile, drawing potential readers closer. These elements combined create a cover that’s visually representative of the storyline, emotionally gripping, and unmistakably horror.
