Design Concept

Visual Composition:

The cover depicts a lush, shadowy forest under a moonlit sky, with thick fog swirling around the feet of the characters. In the foreground, a girl resembling Elena from The Vampire Diaries Season 1 stands, gazing upwards with chocolate brown hair adorned with blonde highlights cascading down in loose waves. Just slightly behind her, a 17-year-old boy with dark brown hair and piercing hazel eyes looks around apprehensively. To the corner, an abandoned playground is dimly visible, adding to the eerie atmosphere. The silhouette of a monstrous shadow looms in the background, creating a sense of foreboding mystery.

Design Typography:

The title "What Darkness Hides" is in a jagged, gothic-style font, using bright white to stand out against the darker tones of the cover.

Design Layout:

The book title is prominently placed at the top, with the characters positioned centrally. The abandoned playground and monstrous shadow are strategically placed to draw the eye across the page, enhancing the sense of suspense and intrigue.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition combines the foreboding elements of a dense, fog-laden forest with glimpses of an uncanny presence, tapping into themes of suspense and the supernatural. The girl and boy add a personal connection for the reader, drawing them into a narrative of mystery and potential danger, spotlighted by the shadowy monster and neglected playground, which evoke fear of the unknown. The choice of a jagged, gothic font conveys the novel’s tension and fits within the thriller genre. Utilizing a matte finish not only enhances visual clarity but also adds a tactile quality that complements the dark, suspenseful nature of the design, luring readers into exploring what the darkness hides.
