Design Concept

Visual Composition:

The cover features a vibrant hand-drawn illustration in a style reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut's minimalist aesthetic. At the center is a large pair of camo cargo shorts, slightly exaggerated and cartoonish, sitting on a grassy plateau at the base of a jagged mountain peak. Above the mountain, a flaming haunted house emits curling smoke, while to the left, a sleek vintage-inspired spaceship blasts off into the starry sky. On the right, a grinning orc armed with an AK-47 strikes an action pose, blending humorous absurdity with a nod to military and fantasy fiction. The background transitions from a glowing blue-to-deep-purple gradient sky, filled with small planets and playful doodles (constellations, stars, and comets).

Design Typography:

The book title "Shorts" appears bold and quirky in a hand-drawn, sans-serif font that evokes a playful retro-futuristic vibe. The subtitle "A collection of short stories by Seth Bleuer" is written in a clean, contemporary serif font in a smaller size, placed unobtrusively near the bottom of the cover.

Design Layout:

The bold "Shorts" title is positioned at the top-center above the main illustration. Below it, the camo shorts dominate the middle third of the composition, drawing attention as the central element. The mountain provides a strong backdrop, flanked by the spaceship on the left and the orc on the right. The flaming house is placed nearer the mountain peak, adding tension and visual interest to the peak's silhouette. The author's name is neatly placed at the bottom-center, just above the grassroots, ensuring readability without overshadowing the central graphics.

Rationale Behind the Design:

This cover combines a whimsical sci-fi/fantasy aesthetic with playful military elements, perfectly capturing the eclectic spirit of the stories within. The hand-drawn visuals lend an approachable and charming quality, evoking Kurt Vonnegut’s organic style while maintaining a contemporary look. The bold mix of fonts adds readability with a touch of fun, while their placement ensures a clear and professional hierarchy. The semi-gloss finish and spot UV give the cover a tactile and visual appeal that invites potential readers to pick up the book. The absurdity of a flaming haunted house juxtaposed with a space-bound rocket and an orc with a modern gun signals the unpredictable and humorous tone of the stories, making the cover both intriguing and genre-appropriate.

Green Eyed Viper

The cover features a serene jungle scene at dusk. It transitions from a glowing golden hue along the horizon, fading into a deep, star-dotted indigo sky. On the left side of the scene, a punching bag sways from the sturdy branch of a sprawling tree, its red material contrasting subtly against the natural hues. At the center, a man sits cross-legged on a roughly-textured rock, engrossed in reading an open book, his form softly illuminated by the golden-orange flicker of a small campfire. To the right, near the edge of the scene, a well-worn, scratched bike leans casually on a small tent, with the metallic parts catching bits of the firelight. The forest floor is detailed with scattered blades of grass, rocky texture, and vine creepings, softly unifying the elements together.

A blank background with different shades of blue and green. A flat image of a castle centered on the cover, with a shooting star hovering above it. The title "Miss Prince" is placed on top of the castle, but not covering it.

Miss Prince

A glowing silver full moon dominates the upper center of the cover against a dark, black background with subtle swirling mist and glowing silver particles to evoke mystery. The moon has an elegant silver rabbit silhouette positioned on it, as if etched into the lunar surface, appearing graceful and ethereal. A delicate and translucent veil flows diagonally across the composition, slightly rippling like a breeze carries it, with subtle golden sparkles catching the light around it. Below the veil, a small silhouette of a teenage girl with long hair in silver with a soft metallic sheen stands poised, looking upward towards the rabbit in a curious manner.

Moonbound

A dark, eerie forest with twisted, dead trees and an ominous fog settling in. In the foreground, a silhouette of the protagonist stands tall, holding a weapon and facing a horde of approaching zombies.

Before the Dead Walk

A tranquil scene with a golden, antique pocket watch lying slightly ajar on lush, short green grass near a sleek, modern wooden bench. The bench faces toward a serene horizon under a vibrant azure sky filled with soft, white clouds that swirl slightly to the right, creating motion. The focus is on the symmetry of the scene – the bench slightly off-center, the watch catching the sun’s reflection to give it a radiant golden highlight.

Performance evaluation and the result of its feedback in the organization

A silhouette of a whirling dervish appears at the center, its flowing robes caught in a soft, mystical whirl. Surrounding the figure is a celestial glow with soft golden and blue hues blending seamlessly, creating a divine and serene atmosphere. Abstract Arabic calligraphy subtly weaves through the background, adding depth and spirituality, while hints of soft motion blur suggest transcendence and flow. The ethereal background is adorned with faint starry patterns, symbolizing enlightenment and universal connection.
