Design Concept
A dark, eerie forest with twisted trees looming in the background under a dim orange moon. In the foreground, a lone figure in silhouette is standing, seemingly consumed in sorrow with shadowy, translucent faces screaming out of the mist that surrounds the figure. The forest floor is scattered with broken, weathered gravestones with faint carvings barely visible.
A distressed, jagged serif font for the title "Awakening," with uneven edges to evoke unease. The title is in bright orange, glowing slightly, as though it is burning or emerging from the shadows.
Title positioned at the top center of the cover, dominating the space but leaving enough room for the background elements to remain visible. The lone figure stands slightly off-center to draw focus, with a subtle vignette effect on the edges to frame the composition. Background fades into pitch black at the top and bottom to add depth.
The visual composition captures the horror and sadness themes of "Awakening" through the juxtaposition of the ghostly forest and the isolated figure. The glowing orange typography adds a supernatural, unsettling element while tying in with the motif of the orange moon. The matte texture of the cover mirrors the grim tone of the story, while the spot UV gloss adds depth and a slight sense of motion to the glowing orange areas. Together, these design choices create an unforgettable cover that embodies the eerie and emotional aspects of the narrative.
