Design Concept
A young girl with her back turned to the viewer under a cloudy, ominous sky, standing on a minimalistic suburban street. Distant hazy silhouettes of teenagers laughing in the background, out of focus and slightly ghostlike. The girl is wearing a hoodie, her face unseeable but her posture slouched in discomfort. The color palette is largely muted blues and grays with small accents of deep red (perhaps on her hoodie string or somewhere subtle). A faint tear runs down the misty pavement she’s standing on, representing sadness and displacement.
A contemporary serif font for the title, "The New Chronicles," in a glowing white with a slight embossed effect, paired with a sleek sans-serif font for "Life at Seventeen" in smaller letters below it. The author’s name, "Indy Turbill," is placed at the bottom in all caps in a modern, understated sans-serif font, faintly textured to blend subtly with the background.
Title positioned at the top of the cover in two lines, "The New Chronicles" larger and dominant. The illustration/photography of the girl fills the center with dead space at the edges to emphasize isolation. The author’s name is aligned centrally at the bottom. The background is integrated seamlessly to frame the visual center without distracting from the text.
The visual composition focuses on evoking an emotional tone that ties directly to the protagonist’s internal conflict and the overarching themes of the book—social displacement, depression, and a sense of being lost. The muted colors suggest melancholy, while the pop of red symbolizes her anger or resilience hidden beneath. The typography choices emphasize the duality of the story, juxtaposing the traditional coming-of-age elements with a modern take on teenage struggles, hence choosing a serif for style and a sans-serif for approachability. Lastly, the matte finish gives an understated elegance to the whole piece, while spot UV ensures that certain areas—like the title or figurative details—catch the reader's attention by reflecting light subtly. These elements work cohesively to create a cover representative of both tone and emotion.
