Design Concept

standing book mockup, Its title is "Carousel". Its author name is Zoe Leslie. A broken-down carousel floats ominously above a cracked desert landscape under a pitch-black night sky sprinkled with faint stars. The carousel's paint is peeling, its golden horses distorted into half-melted monstrosities. In the foreground, seven small silhouettes of children stand clustered, gazing up at the floating carousel, their posture uncertain—some reaching, some turning away. A thin, glowing mist threads through the air, adding a supernatural touch. Distressed and jagged font, resembling fractured glass, with a slightly irregular kerning to give a chilling, unhinged feel. The title "Carousel" is large and central at the top, layered faintly with shadowed gradients. The author’s name, Zoe Leslie, is written in clean, minimal sans-serif font, positioned discreetly at the bottom, allowing the central design to dominate., The title "Carousel" sits prominently across the top of the cover; the carousel floats above, centered mid-frame. The silhouettes of the seven children occupy the bottom third of the cover, evenly distributed, pointing toward the ominous floating structure above. Zoe Leslie’s name is placed subtly at the bottom, spaced generously from the visuals to avoid overcrowding. The night sky with stars serves as a full-bleed background that wraps around both spine and back cover.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition reflects the creepy, dark, and psychotic atmosphere tied into the thriller/suspense genre by combining surrealism with mythological elements. The fractured carousel floating above a barren landscape is unsettling and unique while signaling decay and mystery. The faint-stars night sky adds isolation and expands the eerie supernatural tone. Typography choices emphasize psychological discomfort—the jagged font mirrors the carousel's broken state and the high tension, while Zoe Leslie's understated font provides balance to avoid overwhelming visuals. Matte paper with gloss accents deepens visual contrasts, adding texture and physical tension. Embossing further enhances depth, making the silhouettes and carousel tactile and engaging without distracting from the visual narrative.
