Design Concept
A dark purple and black night sky serves as the background, featuring a looming, cracked moon glowing faintly in soft lavender hues. Below the cracked moon lies a dense forest, its canopy fading into the shadows, permeated with a misty, mysterious air. In the central foreground stands the protagonist, a girl with a stunning black and purple waterfall braid spilling down her back. She wears a flowing black and purple long-sleeved shirt paired with a short white skirt that slightly flutters. On her right side, the silhouette of a girl shapeshifting is formed with a glowing, ethereal transition (e.g., human fading into wolf or eagle mid-transformation). On her left side, a boy channels airy, swirling gusts of wind around his hands as wispy streaks of air spiral outward, subtly glowing silver and lilac. A soft glow from the cracked moon highlights their figures.
The title "Moonborn" is written in an elegant, serif font with slightly elongated, sharp edges in bold metallic silver, subtly radiating soft purple highlights. The author’s name, "Maya Hatter," appears smaller, in a delicate cursive typeface with a soft lilac color, positioned at the bottom of the cover.
At the top of the cover is the cracked moon, taking up one-third of the space. The forest fills the midsection in darker tones to create separation. The protagonist is centered at the bottom-third, her braid and outfit catching attention. The shapeshifting girl and air-wielding boy are slightly flanking her shoulders on the sides, delicately originating streaks of their powers along their movements. The book title, "Moonborn," is prominently displayed above her head, blending but standing distinct from the night sky. The author's name is at the bottom center of the cover.
The visual composition creates an atmospheric blend of bravery and mystery, drawing attention with the glowing cracked moon—a symbolic representation of strength from brokenness. The dark forest invokes mysticism and danger, while the protagonist and her companions spotlight the fantasy theme with their unique abilities. The typography is selected to evoke elegance while maintaining readability; the sharp serif reflects strength and fantasy, while the cursive for the author's name softens the composition. The layout ensures a balanced harmony—centralizing focal characters for relatability and arranging key elements to guide the viewer's eye fluidly through the design. Matte paper and silver foiling add depth and sophistication, aligning the physical experience of the book with its fantastical subject matter.
