Design Concept
A tall, skinny 12-year-old girl with short brown hair stands centrally in a dramatic pose, holding her bow while the quiver rests across her back. Beside her to the right, looming protectively, is a giant jackalope, its saddle gleaming in soft light. The gritty, grey-toned deserted city plaza surrounds them, with cracked pavement and abandoned skyscrapers in the hazy background. Twilight sky hints at an ominous, apocalyptic mood. A subtle metallic sheen is added to the jackalope’s saddle for intrigue.
The title “The Apocalypse Blayce le cour brise” is in a bold, modern serif font with a worn, weathered effect, positioned at the upper center. “Blayce Woodruff” is in a delicate sans-serif font in the lower-right corner, in a smaller yet clear size, allowing it to complement the dramatic scene. Both texts are in shades of white and silver for contrast against the grey backdrop.
The girl and jackalope form the center focal point, creating a triangular balance against the background elements of ruined skyscrapers and cracked plaza stones. The title hovers above the girl’s head, giving breathing space while emphasizing the title’s importance. Shadows from the characters stretch into the foreground, creating depth. The author's name is subtly placed but fully visible in the lower corner.
Visually, the cover captures the dramatic and determined tone through the central positioning of the young protagonist and her jackalope companion within an atmospheric, apocalyptic setting. The grey-dominated palette mirrors the dystopian feel, while the subtle hints of metallic sheen on the jackalope’s saddle break the monotony and foreshadow hope or resilience. For typography, the weathered serif title font strengthens the solid, gritty theme, while the clean sans-serif for the author's name ensures readability without clashing with the main text. The matte soft-touch paper stock offers a premium feel, while the spot UV treatment makes the title and small details stand out, inviting readers to pick up the book. Combined, these elements craft a memorable and genre-appropriate cover design.
