Design Request

Book Genre: memoir_and_autobiography
Expect Emotions: inspiration, hope, resilience, healing
Expect Elements: None
Expect Layout: I was thinking perhaps a scene that conveys darkness to light. Perhaps even mirror shards somewhere to convey the "broken" part of the title. Would love if there is a way on the word "Unbroken" if I could somehow fragment the text itself at the beginning and then transition to "whole text" by the end of the word to convey the broken to healed concept. want the overall look to be calming, inviting and inspirational

Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A background seamlessly transitioning from a dark, starless night sky on the left to a radiant sunrise on the right, symbolizing the journey from darkness to light. In the center of the cover, fragmented mirror shards reflect broken pieces of the dark side, gradually fading into a whole, uncracked mirror reflecting the bright side. The word “Unbroken” stretches across the center, with its left side fragmented and jagged, transforming into smooth and complete text by the end. A soft beam of light spills over the shards, giving a warm and hopeful glow.

Design Typography:

The font for "Unbroken" is a bold, sans-serif typeface that starts fractured on the left and becomes perfectly structured on the right using a gradient effect. The subtitle “When Darkness Becomes Light” is displayed in a sleek, serif font below in a lighter tone, exuding elegance and simplicity. “DeAnne Harmon” appears at the bottom in all caps with a soft, minimal handwritten script to balance the visual weight.

Design Layout:

The title "Unbroken" is prominently centered, slightly larger than the other elements. The shards are layered so they intersect with and surround the title, offering visual depth. The subtitle is directly below the title, slightly smaller, while the author name is at the bottom third of the cover, subtly framed by fading light. The transition from darkness to light is a diagonal gradient background that leads the eye from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner. All elements are spaced with care, maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition of a transitioning background and mirror shards is designed to evoke the emotional journey of brokenness to restoration, symbolizing hope and resilience. The fractured-to-whole typography for "Unbroken" reinforces the memoir’s theme of healing and triumph. The diagonal gradient draws the viewer’s eye across the book naturally, while the arrangement of text keeps it visually balanced yet dynamic. The matte finish lends a calming and approachable vibe, while the spot UV gloss emphasizes key details like the title and mirrors, adding sophistication and tactile intrigue.
