Design Concept
A dystopian cityscape in the background, showing a dimly lit, war-torn environment with burnt buildings and smoke billowing into the dark sky. In the foreground, there’s a sharp divide on one side, a grieving human soldier kneeling with their weapon lowered, and on the other side, a towering, emotionless robot holding a weapon. Between them lies a battered globe, symbolizing humanity's struggle for survival. The color palette includes grays, deep blues, and muted reds, evoking a sense of despair and tension. Faint digital code textures are overlaid subtly onto the background to emphasize the robotic theme.
The title, "The War of Humanity Human vs. Robot," is in a bold, distressed sans-serif font. The font has cracks and imperfections to convey conflict and destruction. The author's name, "Anmol Ghosh," is placed at the bottom in a clean, contrasting serif font for balance. Both elements are in white to stand out prominently against the dark background.
- Title positioned across the top, spanning two lines for readability, slightly tilted to imply instability. - Main artwork centralized with the dramatic divide framing the human and robot characters and the globe slightly below them. - Author’s name aligned to the bottom center. - Minimal clutter to retain focus on the thematic elements.
The visual composition uses strong contrasts and war-driven imagery to represent the conflict between humans and robots. The divide between the characters emphasizes their opposing forces, and the battle-scarred globe adds a poignant reminder of humanity's shared struggle. The use of muted colors and digital textures enhances the sci-fi thriller tone while evoking sadness. The distressed sans-serif font for the title conveys destruction and urgency, and by pairing it with a clean serif for the author’s name, it creates a sense of balance and professionalism. Finally, the choice of matte paper with a soft-touch texture reinforces the somber mood, while the spot UV gloss on key elements adds a glimmer of focus and meaning — showing both despair and resilience.
