Design Concept
The book cover is split into two dynamic halves by a jagged crack running diagonally across the center. On the left side, a modern urban scene is depicted with a teenage girl in the foreground. She's shown sprinting amidst an intense earthquake—falling buildings, cracked asphalt, and debris fill the chaotic background. The sky is ominous in dark gray tones with swirling dust. On the right side, prehistoric life takes over lush, vibrant greens of primeval jungles, massive dinosaurs like a roaring Tyrannosaurus and a soaring Pteranodon, with strange, majestic plants glowing under a golden-hued sky. The two halves transition seamlessly into one another, creating the feeling of two timelines colliding.
Bold serif typography for the book title, “Survivors of La Brea A Prehistoric Adventure," in a distressed, weathered style. The title is placed centrally at the crack's intersection and spans both halves. The author's name, "Arianna D. Song-Herrington," appears in a clean sans-serif font near the bottom of the cover, in white, to maintain subtlety.
The layout prominently emphasizes the split timeline with the diagonal crack. The title intersects both genres, serving as a bridge between modern chaos and prehistoric wilderness. The teenager and dinosaurs are the focal points of their respective sides, balanced and dynamic. The crack acts as a design element and metaphor. The background transitions between the urban wreckage and lush jungle with a smooth gradient at the crackline.
This cover design is a visual metaphor for the duality of the story, with the jagged crack representing the collision of two vastly different worlds modern survival and prehistoric adventure. The distressed serif typography for the title reflects the rugged, raw nature of the story's challenges, while the clean sans-serif author name ensures the design is not overly cluttered. The dynamic layout, emphasizing the characters and environments reflective of their respective sides, immediately communicates the genre blend of science fiction, adventure, and thriller. The choice of materials adds a tactile experience to the viewer, distinguishing the crack through gloss UV and giving weight to the title with embossing. These details combine to make the cover visually appealing, unforgettable, and representative of the book’s emotional journey of fear and bravery.
