Design Concept

standing book mockup, Its title is "Blood and Porcelain". Its author name is Maud Berben.  A tall, ornate gothic window with arched points dominates the upper two-thirds of the cover, thickly veined with weathered green ivy curling around the frame. Through the stained glass panels of the window, a skeletal hand extending outward holds a glowing green amulet, its eerie light spilling over into the foreground. Below, a girl’s pale hand clasps the skeleton hand, knuckles tense, as if in an effort to pull it back. The background is bathed in deep shadows with a faint mist hazing the edges, hinting at mystery and supernatural forces. The overall color palette is dark green, black, and faint ivory. An elaborate, gothic-style font for the book title appears in a slightly textured white with faint cracks, giving an aged porcelain effect. The author’s name, “Maud Berben,” is in a refined serif typeface, slightly smaller and located at the bottom center of the cover., The gothic window sets the stage as the central focal point, occupying the upper two-thirds of the cover. The title, “Blood and Porcelain,” sits at the mid-lower section, partially overlapping the ivy frames but blending seamlessly with the visual composition. The author’s name is neatly placed at the bottom of the cover, balancing the design's weight and ensuring the focus remains on the illustrations. Shadows and glowing effects from the amulet add a sense of depth to the layered design.

Design Typography:

An elaborate, gothic-style font for the book title appears in a slightly textured white with faint cracks, giving an aged porcelain effect. The author’s name, “Maud Berben,” is in a refined serif typeface, slightly smaller and located at the bottom center of the cover.

Design Layout:

The gothic window sets the stage as the central focal point, occupying the upper two-thirds of the cover. The title, “Blood and Porcelain,” sits at the mid-lower section, partially overlapping the ivy frames but blending seamlessly with the visual composition. The author’s name is neatly placed at the bottom of the cover, balancing the design's weight and ensuring the focus remains on the illustrations. Shadows and glowing effects from the amulet add a sense of depth to the layered design.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition revolves around the central gothic window imagery that instantly suggests mysticism and ties the viewer to fantasy's darker, gothic side. The glowing amulet and the skeletal hand introduce intrigue and supernatural themes, while the girl's hand conveys the tension and human element of the struggle or connection central to the book's plot. The typography resonates with the gothic aesthetic, mixing elegance and antiquity with a porcelain-like cracked texture that ties into the title "Blood and Porcelain." The materials ensure the experience feels premium yet aligned with the eerie mysticism, with thoughtful use of spot UV gloss and embossing to amplify key visual elements without overwhelming the composition.
