Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A single, radiant gold feather glides through a deep indigo night sky, curling lightly in the breeze. Surrounding the feather are subtle, swirling whisps of translucent, glowing wind, flecked with shimmering fragments as if magic is coursing through the air. Above, thin strands of golden light form the faint outline of a cage, shattered into pieces that drift into the sky. The background gradually brightens from deep blue at the bottom to a lighter, ethereal hue near the top, evoking the feeling of ascension and freedom.

Design Typography:

The book title, *Unbound,* is in a bold, serif font with soft, curved edges, placed centrally a few inches below the glowing feather. It features subtle gold gradients that give it a metallic sheen. Below the title, the author’s name, *Emz,* is in a smaller, delicate sans-serif font, simple but modern, with a faint silver touch to balance the gold above.

Design Layout:

- The glowing gold feather is the central focal point, placed slightly above the centerline. - The shattered cage strands arc in a semi-circle at varying angles, blended subtly into the background. - Title text is prominent, directly under the feather, perfectly aligned with the composition. - Author’s name sits at the bottom of the cover, spaced to give emphasis to the title.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition focuses on a glowing gold feather destructively breaking away from the remnants of a cage, metaphorically representing how the protagonist feels trapped yet discovers freedom and power. The swirling whisps of wind emphasize motion, liberation, and magic, while the gradient blue background creates a sense of space and ascension. The typography balances elegance and modernity, where the golden serif title echoes sophistication and power, and the silver sans-serif for the author’s name introduces a clean, approachable feel. The choice of glossy paper with foil embossing elevates the magical elements, while tactile gold embossing of the feather draws immediate attention and reinforces the narrative arc of breaking free and soaring toward power.
