Design Concept
A golden-lit city silhouette emerges against a deep blue sky as the sun sets, casting a warm gradient of orange and red across the horizon. In the foreground, two silhouettes—a boy and a girl—stand back-to-back at opposite angles. The boy gazes outward towards the city, his expression troubled, while the girl hangs her head with shame. Above them, clouds swirl and form the faint visage of a majestic king's face that dominates the upper third of the cover. At the bottom, a girl with a chipmunk tail is seated and gazes reflectively upward. The surreal and magical touch is amplified by faint sparkles dotted across the scene.
The title “Thunder's Claw” is bold and serifed, styled with subtle arcs to mimic claw marks within the font. The author’s name “Kaylee Umstead” appears in smaller sans-serif text at the bottom, clean and unobtrusive, contrasting with the fantasy elements of the primary title.
The title sits prominently at the top in the center of the king's face in the clouds. Below the title, the silhouettes of the brother and sister are positioned in midframe against the city backdrop. The author’s name is placed at the bottom near the figure of the chipmunk-tailed girl, centered for symmetry.
The visual composition seamlessly integrates elements of magical realism and emotional depth by layering the cityscape, character silhouettes, and atmospheric fantasy with symbolic imagery such as the king's face and the girl with a chipmunk tail. The typography uses claw-like accents in the title to subtly mirror the book title while keeping the author's name modern and understated—the contrast signifies creative intrigue. Spot glossing adds texture and prominence to the title and magical details, enhancing the overall richness of the cover aesthetic. These materials also help to visually differentiate significant elements, highlighting mood and thematic depth that align with adventure, curiosity, and peace. Additionally, the warm orange and golden tones blended with deep blues evoke curiosity and mystery, foundational emotions for the magical realism genre.
