Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition aims to capture the mystique and terror associated with the deity Kronos, using dark, ominous colors juxtaposed with vibrant red for a striking effect. The typography choice—a jagged font for the title—mirrors the chaos and horror element, while the serif font for the author’s name adds a touch of sophistication and ensures readability. The layout centers around balance, with the dark silhouette providing a focal point.
