Design Concept
A dark, atmospheric scene of an abandoned mining town street under a stormy sky. Shadows creep through the cracks of decaying buildings, and ghostly figures hint at hidden presences. The foreground features a half-buried, ancient artifact partially revealing an ominous glow, drawing the eye toward the mysterious depths.
A jagged, distressed font with an organic, cracked texture to reflect decay and the sense of impending terror. The title is large and imposing, positioned at the top, with each word unevenly spaced to mimic the unease felt in the story.
The entire design is vertically aligned, with the title dominating the upper section and the haunting street scene below. The artifact's glow subtly illuminates the title, integrating it with the visual elements. Shadows and mists guide the reader's eye through a journey from top to bottom.
The visual composition captures the essence of horror by emphasizing the eerie desolation of an abandoned mining town street, using shadows and ghostly figures to instill a sense of lurking dread. Electrifying undercurrents are suggested by the partially revealed artifact, which serves as a focal point for the surrounding mystery. The typography’s jagged, distressed style not only blends elegantly with the dark theme but also embodies the decay of the setting. The vertical alignment of the layout guides the viewer's gaze, enhancing the sense of exploring deeper into the story's secrets. The choice of matte cardstock with an embossed texture complements the visuals by offering a physical representation of the tactile and aged elements portrayed, engaging the reader on both a visual and sensory level.
