Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover features a sprawling green field with a fading city skyline in the background, shrouded in a gloomy haze. In the foreground, five shadowy figures, led by a prominent female figure, run towards the viewer. The sky above is a muted green, hinting at an overcast atmosphere, and the title is seamlessly incorporated into the scene.

Design Typography:

A modern serif font with a slightly distressed look is used for the title "The Fallen" to convey a sense of deterioration. The author’s name "Kati" appears in a clean, sans-serif font at the bottom of the cover, maintaining balance and readability.

Design Layout:

The image of the running figures is placed centrally, with the title positioned just above them and slightly to the left. The author’s name is aligned at the bottom right, ensuring that the focus remains on the scene above while still making the author name easy to spot.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition captures the essence of a dystopian escape, with the figures embodying the struggle against an oppressive urban landscape, represented by the shadowy cityscape in the background. This stark contrast between the fading city and the forefront of vast, open fields emphasizes the theme of transition and desperation. The choice of fonts complements the scene's emotional weight—the distressed serif suggests decay and unrest, whereas the sans-serif presents a stark yet clear signature. A matte finish was selected for the cover material to amplify the melancholic tone, minimizing reflections and drawing the reader into the somber atmosphere through both touch and sight.
