Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A glowing, ancient sword with an ornate hilt emerges from the ground in an ethereal forest bathed in twilight. The blade glows faintly with a soft white light, imprinted with mysterious runes. Two faint, ghostly silhouettes of intertwined lovers face each other in the misty background, suggesting both passion and mystery. The forest trees twist unnaturally, casting eerie shadows, while soft red rose petals scatter in the foreground, adding a sense of love and intrigue.

Design Typography:

Title in bold, serif typeface with an elegant yet sharp edge, such as "Cinzel Decorative." Subtitle or tagline (if any) in a minimalist sans-serif font for contrast, such as "Futura Light." The author’s name appears in smaller text at the bottom center using "Playfair Display Italic," giving a delicate, classic feel.

Design Layout:

The sword occupies the center of the cover, dominating the composition. The title, “Blades of Virtue,” is positioned in the upper third of the cover above the sword. Below the sword in smaller text is Kaitlyn Xander’s name, placed in the bottom center. The ghostly silhouettes blend into the mist in the background, providing a subtle hint rather than dominating the scene. Rose petals are softly layered in the foreground to frame the bottom edge.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The glowing sword at the center creates an immediate sense of fantasy, while the eerie mist-filled background with intertwined ghostly figures conveys the elements of love and mystery intertwined in the story. The serif font chosen for the title reinforces the medieval and fantasy themes of the book, while the italic author's name adds an aesthetic connection to the emotional depth of the narrative. The matte finish ensures a sophisticated and inviting texture while avoiding distracting gloss, and the spot gloss emphasizes specific focal points, ensuring they catch the eye. The embossing on the title adds a tactile quality that enhances the premium look of the cover, enticing readers to pick it up and explore the story within.
