Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

Dark, foggy alleyway with a dim street light creating long shadows. An abandoned phone on the ground with an illuminated screen displaying a series of unsettling, anonymous texts. A silhouette standing in the distance, partially obscured by fog. Elements of flickering light effects to add tension.

Design Typography:

Stark, bold font in white for the title "Midnight Anonymous." The author’s name, Rachel Taulbee, in a slightly smaller, understated serif font in white, positioned at the bottom.

Design Layout:

Title placed prominently at the top, the visual composition consuming the center, the author’s name located at the bottom in smaller font. The anonymous texts appear almost holographically near the phone.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition creates a sense of suspense and mystery by depicting a dark alleyway with minimal light, heightening the overall tension. The anonymous texts on the abandoned phone add to the eerie feel and draw the reader into the storyline. The dark color palette instills a sense of foreboding, crucial for a mystery genre. The bold font for the title ensures it stands out, while the serif font for the author’s name adds a touch of elegance and professionalism. A matte finish with selective glossy and UV spots enhances the contrasts and highlights important elements, making the cover inviting and intriguing to potential readers.
