Design Concept
A night scene with a burning car as the focal point, the flames casting an eerie glow. The silhouette of a teenage boy stands off to the side, partially illuminated by the fire, adding an air of mystery and confrontation. The handcuffs hang visibly from his fingers, catching the fire’s reflection, symbolizing impending justice or revenge. The background fades into a gradient of black and dark red, with embers floating subtly across the cover to emphasize the destructive theme.
The title, “GETTING EVEN,” is bold and uppercase, set in a distressed sans-serif typeface with textured edges to mimic scratched metal or ash marks. The author’s name, “C M THURGOOD,” is placed at the bottom in a smaller serif font that contrasts yet complements the title, in a clean and minimalist style, colored in a muted gray to stand out subtly.
The burning car occupies the lower center, with the boy’s shadow figure positioned slightly to the right. The flames extend upwards, touching the area where the title is placed, creating visual balance. The handcuffs hang diagonally from the figure’s hand, drawing the eye. The title is prominently positioned at the top-third of the cover, while the author’s name is centered along the bottom. The black and red gradient frames these elements, emphasizing the central imagery.
The burning car, fire, and shadow convey the themes of revenge and destruction central to the book’s fantasy narrative. The embers in the background and the gradient add atmosphere, suggesting both chaos and controlled anger. The silhouette of the boy creates intrigue, drawing readers in to learn more about the figure’s role within the story. The choice of a distressed font for the title enhances the raw emotion and tension behind "revenge," the core theme of the book, while the serif font for the author’s name offsets it with clarity and elegance. Finally, the matte finish with UV gloss highlights key details, bringing the elements to life while creating a physical and visual distinction that makes the design stand out on a bookshelf.
