Design Concept
The cover features a dark, shadowy background of an alleyway in 1960s Italy. In the foreground stands a sharply dressed man in a red pinstripe suit, his face obscured by a classic Venetian mask. He holds a gun by his side, with an old-style calendar flipped to June 9th partially visible behind him. A subtle overlay of the Mafia's influential presence is suggested through faint imagery of a dimmed Italian skyline in the background.
The title "June 9th" is written in a bold, serif font with a slightly distressed look to evoke a sense of historical depth. The author's name, Kaylee Umstead, is in a smaller, elegant serif font placed at the bottom.
The title "June 9th" is centrally placed at the top, allowing the ominous imagery to capture attention immediately. The man's figure is centered but slightly off to the right, with the calendar prominently displayed near him. The author's name is subtly positioned at the bottom to balance the design.
The visual composition aims to immerse the reader in the dark and brooding atmosphere of 1960s Italy, hinting at the mafia's influence through subtle background elements. The bold, distressed title font is selected to reflect the historical aspect and the conflict within the story, while the elegant serif font for the author’s name adds a touch of sophistication. The layout ensures the title is prominent and draws the reader's eye immediately while keeping the image of the man as the central focal point, emphasizing the character’s significance. The choice of matte paper with spot UV on key elements adds depth and texture, making the cover visually appealing and memorable.
