Visual Composition:

A chilling, dimly-lit snowy forest as the background, with tall shadowy trees extending towards the sides. In the center, a lone wolf, partially silhouetted against the northern lights, growling menacingly. In the foreground, a rugged man holding a rifle with a determined expression, facing the direction of the wolf. The sky is filled with enigmatic swirling colors of the aurora borealis.

Design Typography:

Bold, jagged font for the title "The Lone Survivor WolfMan," bringing an edgy horror feel. A clean and classic serif font for the author's name, "Joshua Helms," placed at the bottom right.

Design Layout:

The title is placed prominently at the top center, layered over the northern lights. The figure of the man with the rifle is positioned slightly off-center to the right. The wolf is placed on the left, creating a balanced composition that leads the viewer's eyes from the forefront to the background.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition captures the essence of horror by using a dimly-lit snowy forest and the ominous figure of a wolf under the aurora borealis, creating an eerie atmosphere. This setting immediately evokes the cold, desolate wilderness in which the story unfolds. The inclusion of the man holding a rifle adds an element of confrontation and survival, aligning with the book's theme. The typography choice—a bold, jagged font for the title—enhances the tension and drama, while the classic serif font for the author's name provides a contrasting elegance, ensuring readability and memorability. The layout effectively balances visual elements, guiding the viewer’s attention from the protagonist to the awe-inspiring yet foreboding northern lights. Utilizing high-quality matte paper with a textured finish enhances the realistic feel of the landscape. Meanwhile, the UV coating on the title text ensures it captures light, drawing the reader's eye, which is crucial for standing out on bookstore shelves. The overall design encapsulates the horror genre while emphasizing the evocative and personal nature of the survivor's tale.
