Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A dark background with a large, slightly off-center image of a hangman's noose casting a shadow. The noose is intricately detailed, with rough fibers visible. Surrounding the noose are faint, ghostly images of crowded streets and landmarks from Singapore, blending into the dark background. The bottom of the cover has an ephemeral, smoky texture.

Design Typography:

The title "The Singapore Hangman" in bold, jagged serif font, colored a deep crimson. The author's name "Douglas Yen" in a more subdued, sans-serif font at the bottom, colored in silver.

Design Layout:

The noose is the focal point, slightly off-center to the left, with the title at the top right corner and the author's name at the bottom center. The ghostly cityscape wraps around the entire cover, providing context without overpowering the central image.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The dark background with the focal noose immediately draws the reader's attention, creating a sense of fear and suspense. The intricate details of the noose emphasize its significance and add a tactile feel when touched. The ghostly images of Singapore subtly hint at the book's setting, enhancing curiosity and intrigue. The contrasting crimson and silver typography ensures readability, while the matte textured material for the noose gives a unique sensory experience that aligns well with the gravity of the book's content.
