Design Concept
The cover design features a moonlit forest with tall, twisted trees casting elongated shadows. Among the shadows, subtle silhouettes suggest the presence of mythical creatures and faint faces that appear when looked at closely, adding a horror element. The color palette includes deep blues, silvers, and blacks to create a mysterious and eerie nighttime scene.
The title "Tales of the Night" is in a flowing, elegant serif font that evokes the feel of classic fairytales, with a slight Gothic touch to hint at the horror aspect. The author's name, Ravenella Lockwood, appears in a slightly smaller, simpler serif font to complement the title, in contrasting silver to ensure readability against the darker background.
The title is prominently placed at the top-center of the cover, with the author's name positioned at the bottom. The visual elements are centrally aligned, with the forest background enveloping the entire cover, creating an immersive effect.
The visual composition leverages the universal imagery associated with mystery and suspense that forests naturally evoke, and the subtle incorporation of mythical silhouettes plays on the reader’s imagination, suggesting stories intertwined with the supernatural. The typography choice aims to bridge the elegance associated with fairytales and the somber tone usually found in horror, creating a cohesive look that appeals to readers of both genres. Using glossy materials with spot UV ensures visual elements like the title catch the light, enhancing the book's physical presence on the shelf and making it enticing to potential readers.
