The cover showcases a dimly lit Parisian street under a moonlit sky, filled with old, eerie buildings. At the center, Louis Mariposa, seen from behind in a slightly blurred focus, is depicted wearing his distinctive camel-colored suit, holding an illuminated ancient papyrus. Shadows from the buildings loom significantly around him, adding an element of danger and suspense. At the top right corner, an illuminated window hints at ongoing an investigation. Near Louis, the Eye of Horus subtly glows, hinting at occult mysteries and ancient secrets.
Gothic-inspired fonts with metallic gray coloring for the title "Les Dossiers Mariposa", contrasted with elegant serif fonts for the author’s name "Louis GRIMAUD" in a deep orange hue.
The title occupies the top portion of the cover, centrally aligned. Louis Mariposa stands in the middle with the illuminated papyrus, his back turned to the viewer. The Eye of Horus is discretely placed near his shoulder. The author’s name appears at the bottom, slightly right-aligned, following the contours of the street.
The visual composition intends to evoke a sense of mystery and timeless intrigue by juxtaposing the ancient (represented by the papyrus and Eye of Horus) with the modern (Parisian background). The choice of a dimly lit street scene immerses readers in a suspenseful nighttime atmosphere that suggests danger and fascination. The typography combines Gothic elements for the title to enhance the sense of enigmatic elegance, while the serif font for the author’s name brings a touch of classic refinement. Using a matte paper stock with spot gloss on significant elements like the papyrus and Eye of Horus adds a tangible contrast, making these key features stand out and drawing readers' attention to the elements of suspense and hidden secrets within the story.
