Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover features a black background with an open book in the center, tilted slightly towards the viewer. Above the book, a hand stretches out from the background, with all five fingertips touching the open pages. Rivulets of black ink are drawn from the book up the fingers. The style of the illustration is similar to comic book artist Frank Miller, with bold lines and shadows.

Design Typography:

The book title "Denithor the Librarian" is displayed in a bold and mysterious font, in a metallic silver color. The author's name "Eric Hook" is placed below the title, in a smaller and more subtle font, also in metallic silver.

Design Layout:

The book title and author's name are aligned horizontally at the bottom of the cover, centered. The rest of the cover is uncluttered, focusing on the central elements of the open book and the hand.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The black background and bold lines of the illustration create a sense of mystery and danger, capturing the fantasy genre of the book. The open book symbolizes knowledge and the hand reaching out represents a touch of danger or something supernatural. The metallic silver typography adds a touch of elegance and complements the dark theme of the cover. The choice of matte black paper for the cover material enhances the overall mysterious and visually appealing design.
