Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A fragmented, broken mirror takes center stage, covering most of the book cover. Each shard of the mirror reflects different emotions and expressions of Jinx—some looking calm and collected while others reveal pain, self-doubt, or sadness, split in a way that the reader feels disturbed yet intrigued. The mirror edges are darkened, blurring into the muted gray and blue backdrop that fades outward into deeper shadowed corners. A subtle golden light filters through the cracks in the mirror, casting a soft glow on Jinx’s reflection to symbolize hope. Jinx’s mesmerizing blue eyes are the focal point in one of the shards, drawing the viewer's gaze immediately. Pieces of shattered mirror glass litter the bottom of the cover with glints of light reflecting off their edges.

Design Typography:

The title, "Fragile Threads," is written in a modern serif font with uneven, slightly fragmented edges to mirror the broken aesthetic. It’s placed at the upper center of the cover, with subtle distress effects to enhance the mood. The author's name, "Sknnzzeei," is presented in a clean sans-serif font at the bottom of the cover in muted white with a soft glow effect for readability.

Design Layout:

The broken mirror dominates the center, containing fragmented shards reflecting emotions. The title occupies the upper third, balanced by the author’s name at the lower part. The blurred background transitions gradually from muted blues and grays near the center to darker shadows in the corners. A subtle vignette effect frames the edges, keeping attention tightly focused on Jinx’s broken reflection in the mirror.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition of the broken mirror with Jinx’s multiple expressions represents the core themes of internal conflict and perception versus reality. The blurred background blending into shadowed corners enhances the suspenseful and melancholic mood and draws the viewer into the story. The layered and fragmented typography style echoes the "fragile" nature of both Jinx’s personality and the book title, creating cohesion. The use of a modern serif and clean sans-serif combination adds to the easy readability and modern aesthetic of the thriller/suspense genre. Lastly, the materials—matte finish and spot UV accents—keep the cover elegant while drawing attention to specific focal points, creating a high-quality first impression for readers.
