Design Concept
A dark, stormy sky looms above a barren landscape, with charred ruins scattered across the landscape. In the foreground, a child and father hold hands, silhouetted against a dramatic, jagged bolt of lightning that splits the sky. The child carries a small, flickering lantern that provides a faint glow of hope. The scene is infused with an ominous, electric aura, hinting at the desolation caused by the electromagnetic pulse.
Bold, metallic fonts with an electrifying texture for the title "The Shock of Lightning," creating a sense of urgency. The author's name, Remy Kumar, is in a smaller, simple sans-serif font at the bottom of the cover for balance.
The child and father are centrally placed to draw the viewer's focus. The title is positioned at the top with lightning streaks integrated into the letters, while the author's name is located at the bottom right. The background fades into a gradient from dark to slight light at the horizon, aligning with the emotional intensity of the visual.
The visual composition aims to evoke emotions of shock and despair, using the contrast between dark clouds and piercing lightning. This juxtaposition elevates the otherworldly, catastrophic event central to the story. The bold, metallic typography captures the essence of an electric shock, aligning with the science fiction genre. Integrating lightning within the title enhances the thematic focus of the narrative. Layout decisions are made to attract attention to the center of the cover, seamlessly blending character with backdrop. Materials like matte cardstock, complemented by gloss UV accents on the title, bring a tactile and visual contrast that underlines the narrative's emotional and thematic dichotomy.
