Rationale Behind the Design:

The design captures the dark and mystical essence of a fantasy book by using a moody backdrop of smoke and ember. The burning silhouette hands create a dramatic focus that embodies both destruction and fleeting connection, directly reflecting the title, "The Ballet of Withering." The use of a serif font enhances the elegance and otherworldly tone while matching the fantasy genre. The glowing, embossed title ensures the cover stands out and feels immersive to touch, making it visually compelling and texturally engaging. Using matte paper contrasts beautifully with spot UV gloss, creating the illusion of real fire and ash on the cover.
