Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A dark, dystopian background with a gradient of deep greys and shadows. A single man wearing a black suit and a stark, white featureless full-face mask dominates the foreground. His hand is extended outward, holding a single, brightly colored pill (red and blue in halves). The atmosphere is oppressive, with faint hints of a crumbling city skyline in the blurred background. Subtle holographic binary codes float faintly in the air around the pill.

Design Typography:

The book title "The Pill" is in bold, condensed, futuristic sans-serif typography. The font is metallic with a subtle glowing effect. The author’s name, “Oscar Kempt,” is in a smaller, clean serif font placed at the bottom right corner, in white, to subtly balance the composition.

Design Layout:

The man is centered in a slight low angle perspective, making him feel imposing. The pill is highlighted through contrasting bright lighting that focuses the viewer’s eye. The title is placed at the top of the cover, maintaining clear visibility, while the author’s name is subtly positioned at the bottom right.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition is designed to evoke fear, uncertainty, and intrigue, aligning with the dystopian theme. The single man in a mask symbolizes dehumanization and faceless authority, while the pill serves as a symbol of choice and control. The binary codes subtly imply the presence of technology or surveillance, enhancing the theme of dystopian control. Using bold and futuristic fonts for the title emphasizes the modern nature of the story, while the matte finish creates a somber, non-reflective texture that mirrors the book’s dark tone. The spot UV gloss on the pill and binary codes adds a layer of visual and thematic emphasis, ensuring that these key elements immediately draw the viewer’s attention.
