Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A midnight scene with a full moon casting a silvery light over a still, eerie lake. From the lake's depths, a shadowy, indistinct figure begins to rise, creating ripples in the water. Silhouettes of trees lining the shore sway, their leaves rustling in a phantom wind. The atmosphere is dark and mysterious, with wisps of fog trailing across the water's surface.

Design Typography:

Use a haunting serif font for the title "V O I C E S," with wide spacing between letters to create a sense of echoing stillness. The font color is a ghostly white with subtle shadow effects. The author’s name, Lakayla Finley, is in a smaller, delicate serif font at the bottom in a muted gray.

Design Layout:

The title "V O I C E S" is prominently placed at the top, partially immersed in the fog. The rising shadow is central, commanding attention, and the author’s name is discreetly placed at the bottom, ensuring the visual elements remain the focal point.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition of the cover effectively sets the horror theme, with the rising shadow from the lake under a full moon creating an ominous and intriguing focal point. The monochromatic color scheme with hints of silvery moonlight adds to the suspense and chilling allure of the book. The chosen typeface for the title with wide spaced serifs adds to the mysterious and echoic effect, drawing the reader’s curiosity. The author's name is subtly integrated in a finer serif font to keep the main imagery undistracted. Utilizing a matte cardstock with a hint of sheen both matches the tactile experience to the ethereal vibe of the cover and allows the moonlit elements to subtly play under varying lighting conditions, enhancing the overall eerie effect.
