Design Concept
A desolate urban landscape in the foreground with crumbling skyscrapers against a dark, cloud-filled sky. A single figure stands in silhouette amidst the debris, holding a flickering lantern. Torn posters flutter on the remaining walls, hinting at rebellion.
A bold, distressed sans-serif font gives a gritty look, paired with a subtle, handwritten-style subtitle.
The title is placed at the top in a large size, layered in front of the dark clouds. The single figure is centered at the bottom. The author's name is at the bottom-center in a smaller style.
The visual composition of a crumbling urban landscape with a singular figure amidst the ruins effectively conveys a sense of desolation common in dystopian narratives. The dark, cloud-filled sky sets a somber tone, which is fitting for the genre. By using a distressed sans-serif font, the typography reflects the rough, rebellious nature of the dystopian setting, further aided by a handwritten subtitle style that adds a personal touch of human struggle. The choice of positioning places the single figure in the spotlight, drawing attention to a central theme of survival and resistance. The tactile quality of textured matte paper with a soft-touch finish invokes a sense of the gritty, harsh world the dystopian genre often evokes.
