Book Genre: fantasy
Expect Emotions: light,dark
Expect Elements: None
Expect Layout: Main Imagery: The cover could feature Raven and Aurelia standing back-to-back, each with a distinct aura of light and dark magic swirling around them. Raven’s side could be engulfed in dark, shadowy tendrils, his figure almost melding with the darkness, while Aurelia is surrounded by ethereal, golden light, though this light is starting to fade or crack at the edges, symbolizing the inner conflict between the Light and Dark Magic. Background: The background could show the ruins of the High City, with crumbling buildings and a desolate skyline, suggesting that the world has already begun to fall apart. The faint silhouette of Lady Eveline could be seen in the distance, watching them, symbolizing her looming presence as both an ally and enemy. Color Scheme: A blend of dark purples, blues, and grays for Raven’s side, with golden yellows and whites for Aurelia’s side. The contrast between the light and dark would immediately signal the themes of duality and the tension between good and evil. Title Font: The title, "Shadows of the Fallen", would be in a bold, gothic font, with the word "Shadows" appearing shadowed or fading into the background, while "Fallen" could be slightly cracked or broken, symbolizing the collapse of the world and their ideals.

Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

Raven and Aurelia stand back-to-back, centered on the cover, Raven enveloped in swirling dark shadows blending with dark purples and blues on the left side. Aurelia is illuminated by a golden, ethereal light that fades into the yellow-whites on the right. The backdrop is a desolate skyline of the ruined High City with crumbling structures. In the distance, a faint but distinct silhouette of Lady Eveline, half-shadowed, is visible, watching the scene.

Design Typography:

Bold, gothic font for "Shadows of the Fallen," where "Shadows" is shadowed and slightly fades into the dark background and "Fallen" appears cracked. The author's name "sla Roberts" is elegantly placed at the bottom in a classic serif font.

Design Layout:

The title is prominent at the top center, with characters beneath, flanked by the high city ruins. The dark and light halves of the background seamlessly merge at the center, enhancing the duality theme.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition draws the viewer into the heart of the conflict, with Raven and Aurelia's contrasting auras bringing life to the cover, reflecting the tension between light and dark magic, enhanced by the seamless blend of dark and light hues. The gothic typography for the title complements the fantasy genre and offers a stark contrast that catches the eye. The layout ensures a coherent narrative flow, leading the reader's gaze from the looming title to the central characters and into the background. The chosen materials of matte and spot gloss add texture and depth, making the title and characters stand out against the dramatic background, enhancing the immersion into the fantasy world.
