Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover features a whimsical, scribbled backdrop resembling a child’s drawing, bursting with pastel colors. Centered in the foreground is a toy dollhouse, surrounded by the family dolls a mother in a pink dress with an apron, a father in a fancy outfit, a brother in overalls with a propeller hat, and a sister in a frilly, colorful outfit. Each doll wears a happy mask with a broad smile, and they are all attached by strings from above. Looming over this cheery scene is the shadow of a dark figure, his sinister stitched smile contrasting with the joyful facade of the dolls.

Design Typography:

The book title "Cracks in the Dollhouse" is scripted in a playful handwritten font that mirrors a child’s scrawl, while the author’s name, “Analyia Zamora,” is presented in a clean, modern sans-serif typeface for clarity and balance.

Design Layout:

The title is positioned at the top center, providing an airy balance above the dollhouse imagery. The author’s name is stationed at the bottom in a smaller size, maintaining a clean visual margin and focusing the attention on the central image. Background elements swirl subtly from the edges in pastel hues, harmonizing the composition.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition creatively juxtaposes a cheerful, childlike dollhouse scene with an underlying sinister mood by including the dark, ominous figure with an unsettling smile, effectively setting a thrilling tone for the narrative. The choice of a playfully handwritten font for the title aligns perfectly with the child-drawn backdrop, adding authenticity and an innocent undertone to the cover. This is paired efficiently with a modern sans-serif font for the author's name to ensure readability and modern appeal. The use of soft matte paper accentuates the tactile and visual softness of pastel colors, creating an inviting yet subtly eerie aesthetic that draws readers into the speculative suspense embodied in 'Cracks in the Dollhouse'.
