Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover will feature a dark, sepia-toned background to emphasize an old and historical feel. A haunting, shadowy figure of a soldier will be superimposed onto the background, with torn edges and ghostly effects to enhance the scary and depressing emotion. War-torn landscapes, with trenches and barbed wire, will occupy the bottom half of the cover.

Design Typography:

The book title "Escaped Death" will be in a distressed, blood-red vintage font. The author's name "Nathan Moris" will be in a contrasting, simple, white serif font to ensure clarity and focus.

Design Layout:

The book title placed prominently at the top, with the shadowy soldier figure centered. War-torn landscapes at the bottom, fading into the background. The author's name at the bottom, slightly indented to the right.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition focuses on creating a haunting and historical atmosphere using sepia tones and shadowy imagery. The typography choices of distressed and vintage fonts for the title, combined with a simple serif font for the author's name, effectively communicate the book's theme. The layout strategy emphasizes the book's title while giving prominence to the visual focal point of the soldier and war landscape. The use of matte paper with a slight texture further enhances the cover's old and worn look, immersing the reader into the historical context.
