Design Concept
A powerful rising phoenix emerging from shimmering embers in the foreground, symbolizing strength and rebirth. Behind the phoenix, a dark, eerie Gazara Cityscape with faintly glowing windows that hint at secrets. A barber shop is subtly integrated into the golden-yellow haze—its silhouette softly visible, blending the mundane with the fantastical. Masked vigilantes in faint, shadowy forms are positioned on either side of the bird, keeping them mysterious yet intriguing. A radiant beam of light pierces the sky, casting a hopeful glow on the scene. The colors are a mix of bold crimson, gold, and dark indigo to emphasize both mystery and hope.
The font of the title, "In the Shadows—Tale of Gazara City," uses a bold and jagged serif typeface with slightly distressed edges to evoke fantasy and intrigue. The author’s name, “M.M.Mohamed,” is designed in a clean, sans-serif font for balance and is placed at the bottom in white, distinct yet not competing for attention.
- Title at the center near the phoenix’s head, slightly curved to follow the shape of the glowing beam of light. - The author's name at the bottom center in smaller-sized text. - The phoenix occupies the lower half of the cover as the focal point, centered. - The cityscape forms the background with the barber shop located in the bottom left corner. - Masked vigilantes are subtly outlined between the phoenix's wings and edges.
The visual composition of the cover taps into the themes of strength, inspiration, and intrigue by placing a phoenix as the central figure—symbolizing rebirth and defiance. The gloomy cityscape in the background reinforces the fantasy setting, while the barber shop adds a touch of realism and mystery, bridging the extraordinary with the everyday. The masked vigilantes create tension and curiosity without revealing too much about the characters. The typography choice of a jagged serif for the title conveys fantasy and ruggedness, while a cleaner sans-serif font for the author's name ensures balance. The use of soft matte laminate material combined with UV highlights and gold foiling adds sophistication, while the tactile combination of textures ensures the cover stands out physically and visually on shelves.
