Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition of a dark forest at night with twisted trees and glowing red eyes is intended to provoke a sense of fear and suspense, which aligns with the horror genre. The typography choice of a distressed, bold typeface with jagged edges emphasizes the brutal nature of a ‘hunter’, creating a link between the text and the imagery. The layout maintains a focus on the central elements of fear through placement and balance. Using a matte finish with spot UV provides a tactile element that draws attention, enhancing the overall sinister atmosphere conveyed on the cover.
