Visual Composition:

Two teenage boys stand side by side in the foreground, facing a horizon dominated by two colossal, gleaming cities. The sky is filled with dark, swirling clouds, and a faint, eerie green glow emanates from the cities, casting an unsettling light. In the middle ground, various animals with mechanical features lurk in shadowy corners, hinting at their AI mutations. The boys are detailed—the 18-year-old with dirty blonde hair and green eyes, clad in a black hoodie and cargo pants, and the 19-year-old with chestnut dark skin and fluffy black hair, in a dark brown t-shirt and shorts. Small, scattered hints of circuitry can be seen on exposed skin and clothing, suggesting their gradual robotic transformation.

Design Typography:

The book title "Havok Hunter" is in a bold, futuristic typeface, split across two lines at the top. Below it, "Daken Chen" is in a sleek, minimalist font, positioned at the bottom right.

Design Layout:

The characters occupy the lower center, framed by the looming cityscape. The title is centered above, with the sky providing contrast, while the author’s name is aligned at the bottom right, maintaining balance.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition brings out the essence of wonder and fear through its stark depiction of a dystopian world. The gigantic cities signal the peak of technological and societal advancement, now tainted by abandonment and mutation. This theme is mirrored in the AI-infested animals and the boys’ own subtle transformations, evoking wonder and fear regarding their fate. The typography selection, with its modern, bold aesthetic, complements the futuristic setting and heightens the tension. The placement of visual elements leads the eye naturally from title to illustration and finally to the author’s name, achieving a balanced yet dynamic layout. Employing glossy cardstock with UV spot finishing not only adds a luxurious touch but also creates a visual focal point that enhances readability and appeal.
