Visual Composition:

A foggy forest drenched in dark shades of grey fills the background, with twisted branches clawing at the edges of the cover. Emerging from the fog is a sinister, blurred shadow. A young woman, with faint, flowing hair, walks ahead, unaware of the dark figure haunting behind her. Hints of spectral light swirl subtly around the woman's silhouette, giving the illusion of fleeting memories or echoes of a past life. The cover's lighting is dim with a high-contrast effect, creating a chillingly mysterious atmosphere.

Design Typography:

Intricate serif fonts with darkened edges, such as "Cinzel Decorative" or "IM Fell DW Pica," are used for the title. The title "The Past Life" is displayed prominently at the top in an off-white, ghostly texture, subtly splattered with fading smoke effects. The author names, "Savannah Earley and Sophia Treeter," are in a smaller, simpler serif font at the bottom, in light grey, to match the overall eerie theme.

Design Layout:

The title sits near the foggy treetops, centered but spaced to allow the shadowy figure and the girl's path to lead the viewer's eyes downward. The girl and shadow are placed slightly off-center to create visual tension. Author names are aligned at the bottom, while faint glowing embellishments draw attention to the central figures.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition blends the core elements of fantasy and fear, immersing viewers into the eerie premise of the story. The foggy and shadowy design emphasizes the dark and haunting themes associated with a past life while revealing just enough to intrigue potential readers. Serif fonts communicate a sense of mystery and era, tying in gracefully to the theme of a timeline that spans lifetimes, while their textured treatments create a ghostly vibe. The matte background aligns with the theme of subdued darkness, while gloss on the title and slight glowing around the central figures provide focal points to draw viewers in.
