Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover features a photorealistic image of a twisted mirror, reflecting a dark and stormy sea with a ship in distress. The mirror is cracked and distorted, adding to the ominous atmosphere.

Design Typography:

The title "Dangerous Tides" is written in bold, jagged letters that resemble the waves of the sea. The author's name, Sean F. Pennacchi, is written in a more elegant and sinister font, placed below the title.

Design Layout:

The twisted mirror and ship image is centered on the cover, with the title and author's name positioned above and below it, respectively.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition of the cover uses a photorealistic image of a twisted mirror to create a sense of unease and intrigue. The mirror represents a distorted reality, reflecting the dangers that lie beneath the surface. The dark and stormy sea, along with the distressed ship, sets the tone for the dark horror genre. The typography choices further enhance the theme, with the jagged letters resembling the chaotic waves of the sea and the elegant font adding a touch of sophistication to the author's name. The layout places the main image at the center, drawing attention to the mirror and ship, while the title and author's name are positioned strategically to ensure readability. The choice of matte-finish paper stock adds to the overall dark and mysterious aesthetic of the cover.
