Design Concept
A dark, misty forest with twisted, leafless trees forms the background. In the center, a ghostly, almost translucent heart hangs suspended by ethereal chains. Red, eerie light glows faintly through the heart, casting ominous shadows. Silhouettes of screaming faces subtly appear in the fog and on the forest floor.
Title in a distressed, bold serif font with blood-red coloring. Author's name in a smaller, clean sans-serif font, white in color.
The title is placed at the top-center of the cover, dominating the space. The heart image is in the center, slightly downward. The author's name is positioned at the bottom-center. The background forest wraps around, creating an all-encompassing dark atmosphere.
The visual composition using a dark forest and ghostly heart with ethereal chains and glowing light sets a eerie and frightening tone, which is fitting for a horror genre. Silhouettes of screaming faces subtly enhance the frightening atmosphere, ensuring it is visually intense and dark. The distressed serif font in blood-red for the title adds to the overall scary and intense feeling, while the clean sans-serif font for the author's name provides balance. The layout ensures the title and visuals are prominent and easy to recognize, making the cover visually appealing and representative of the genre. The choice of a matte finish with spot gloss on the title and heart adds a tactile and visual depth, capturing potential readers' interest and hinting at the dark, intense story within.
