Design Concept
A suburban street at night with dim streetlights, bathed in eerie orange and black tones. The shadows of quiet houses loom in the background. In the foreground, a cartoon man with unnervingly ginger straight hair stands under a streetlight. His unnaturally wide grin is directed to the reader, holding a vintage camera aimed straight at the viewer, as though capturing their image. His eyes glint creepily, and his smile seems to stretch unnaturally in a horror-styled fashion. The scene is unnerving with heavy use of contrast between orange highlights and black shadows.
Bold sans-serif font for the title "La fotografía del perseguidor," with uneven edges mimicking torn paper. The title is placed prominently at the top in a gradient of white fading to orange. The author’s name, Tiklott, is written in a handwritten script font in a smaller size at the bottom, ghostly white in color, creating a haunting effect.
The cartoon character dominates the central area of the cover, with his sinister smile and camera motion creating the focal point of the design. The houses and suburban setting are blurred slightly in the background to add depth and establish the atmosphere of unease. The title is placed prominently in the skyline area, while the author’s name is positioned near the bottom, balanced over a small patch of shading. The colors black, orange, and white are interwoven throughout the design, with orange functioning as the ominous highlight color.
The visual composition directly communicates the genre of thriller and suspense, embedding hints of horror and paranoia through the unsettling character and eerie suburban setting. The bold sans-serif typography for the title ensures clarity while evoking jagged tension similar to torn paper. The handwritten font for the author’s name softens the impact slightly, adding contrast and intrigue to the design. The layout is balanced, with the title commanding attention while the imagery draws the viewer into the unsettling encounter with the cartoon character. Matte cover material with spot UV coating underlines the book’s dark themes and leverages subtle highlights to accentuate focal points like the camera and smile, effectively heightening the horror element through texture and light manipulation.
