The hair is dark and styled with a wispy texture, giving it a slightly edgy, modern appearance. The back features a longer length, resembling a mullet style. He is pretty, mezmerising blue eyes His outfit features a black blazer with a relaxed fit, Underneath, a crisp white dress shirt, paired with a blue tie adorned with diagonal stripes, giving it a traditional school uniform vibe. The dark pants complement the blazer. A small emblem or pin on the blazer hints that this may be a school uniform or represent an organization.

Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A shattered mirror spans the vertical center of the cover, creating a hauntingly symmetrical layout. The shards reflect the fragmented expressions of Jinx in varying levels of emotional intensity—calm on the upper shards and distress in the lower ones. The edges of the entire scene are softly blurred into muted grays and blues, intensifying the focus on Jinx's mesmerizing blue eyes and dark, textured hair. A subtle light source in golden-white emanates from behind the mirror, implying both a sense of hope and mystery. A faint, almost illegible emblem on his blazer adds intricate detail, grounding his character.

Design Typography:

The title, "Fragile Threads," appears in an elegant serif font, with a cracked texture overlay, matching the shattered mirror. The typography is placed at the lower third of the cover with subtle spacing and kerning. The author name, "Sknnzzeei," is set in a minimalistic sans-serif font at the bottom, smaller but centered, and in a soft gray-blue hue.

Design Layout:

The primary visual focus is on the fragmented reflection, with the title and author's name balanced subtly to not disrupt the emotional tension of the imagery. The shards of broken glass overlap slightly with the typography as if the title itself is part of the broken reflection. The background remains minimally blurred but unified in muted tones.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition is designed to evoke a strong emotional impact, aligning with the thriller and suspense genre. Focusing on the mirror's fragmented reflection directly conveys the duality and complexity of Jinx’s character—how he perceives himself versus how the world views him. The fused muted grays and blues create melancholy tones, while the subtle gold or white lighting introduces hope and warmth, hinting at the layers within the story. Typography choices of cracked serif for the title tie directly to the shattered mirror effect, enhancing the visual narrative. The matte finish with selective gloss draws attention to specific, high-emotion areas, like the shards and the title, creating both subtlety and emphasis. This cover visually immerses the audience, captures multiple emotions—thrill, sadness, curiosity—and remains true to the book’s thematic core.
