Design Concept
A dark, moody cityscape of 29th-century New York looms in the background under a stormy, oppressive sky. In the foreground, two silhouettes of young women stand with their backs to the viewer, their heads tilted slightly towards each other in a silent rebellion. Shafts of light break through the clouds, casting a hopeful glow on hidden rainbow pins peeking from beneath their dark clothing. Overhead, the sky is tinged with deep purples and midnight blues, hinting at both conflict and hope.
A combination of serif and sans-serif fonts gives an old-world meets futuristic feel. The title “Beyond the Rules” is prominent, in a serif font that feels both authoritative and ancient. The sans-serif subtitle contrasts by suggesting modernity and rebellion.
The title is prominently placed across the top third of the cover, slightly overlapping with the oppressive cityscape, while the silhouettes rest in the middle third, creating a visual break. The colored accents of the rainbow pins are placed subtly in the bottom third with the tagline.
The visual composition captures the dystopian genre with a dark cityscape and the oppressive sky, representing the dominance of the totalitarian regime. The silhouettes of Sharon and Amber, facing away, signify their defiance and self-identity within this controlled world. Their shared secret, the rainbow pins, adds a splash of forbidden color, emphasizing hope amid despair. The typography blends traditional serif and modern sans-serif fonts, reinforcing the tension between past and future ideology. The layout strategically places elements to guide the viewer's eye from title to imagery, creating a cohesive narrative. The choice of a matte, textured finish adds to the tactile experience, while embossing and spot gloss accentuate key features, enhancing visual appeal and intrigue.
