Design Concept
A dramatic scene with a wide-angle view of a dead volcano looming in the background, casting long shadows. The foreground depicts a cityscape with crumbling skyscrapers and abandoned streets that stretch toward the horizon. The sky is dominated by a vivid, mesmerizing sunset with hues of orange, red, and purple, casting an eerie glow over the desolate landscape.
Bold, uppercase letters for the title "Apocalypse City" using a distressed font that resembles cracked concrete. The author's name, Mark Morales, is in a sleek, modern sans-serif font located at the bottom, providing a subtle contrast to the title.
The volcano sits in the upper third, creating a central focal point. Below, collapsing buildings form a visual path leading the eye towards the title, which is centrally positioned in the middle. The author's name is placed at the bottom against the sunset's gradient.
The visual composition creates a sense of awe and desolation, harnessing the power of natural and man-made decay to evoke the thriller and suspense genre. Positioning the volcano in the background as a looming presence ties the theme of nature's force with human civilization, enhancing the apocalyptic tone. The typography was deliberately chosen to connect with the crumbling city imagery, giving the impression that even the text is eroding. Using a matte paper stock with textured material adds to the tactile experience, making the book feel like an artifact from the world it depicts. The spot UV gloss on the title provides a subtle effect that draws attention, ensuring the cover is eye-catching on shelves or online thumbnails.
