Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover features a dark, stormy sky with sharp lightning bolts illuminating a foreboding castle in the background. An ethereal silhouette of a King stroking a Jester unfolds within the confines of an hourglass at the center. The hourglass is embedded within misty shadows as purple poison intriguingly drips from the top. Mysterious figures of angels and hints of death add depth to the intrigue. A small, dilapidated platform is occupied by a lonely kitten looking curiously into the chaotic scene. The overall color palette is dominated by intense reds with hints of purples and deep shadows.

Design Typography:

Gothic-style font for the title "Frightened Courage" in bold red with subtle dark gradients. The author name "Kaylee Umstead" is presented in a refined serif font in smaller, silver letters against the dark background complementing the title.

Design Layout:

The title is prominently placed at the top, with the silhouette scene taking center stage. The author's name is positioned near the bottom right corner to maintain visual balance. Lightning and the castle backdrop provide an intriguing background texture.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition for "Frightened Courage" embodies a fantasy world bursting with mystery and darkness through vivid elements. The imagery of the king and jester within an hourglass, entwined with the themes of poison, death, and the castle, stirs an unsettling curiosity. The gothic typography intensifies the dark ambiance and the choice of a spot gloss accent emphasizes the fantasy allure. Selecting a matte paper provides a smooth yet textured background, weaving a contrasting atmosphere for the fascinating and intricate designs to capture the reader’s imagination fully, supporting the underlying themes of discomfort and intrigue.
