Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover captures a frozen mountain peak bathed in the amber light of sunset. In the foreground, two shadowy figures—a young boy with his arm protectively draped around his sister—sit perched on jagged rocks. The girl, wrapped in a tattered blanket, is shivering slightly. The coldness is emphasized with faint frost effects around the edges of the cover. The sunset paints the sky with streaks of orange, purple, and pink tones, making the stark white snow and rough dark rocks stand out even more. In the background, distant, mysterious silhouettes of an unknown forest hint at looming danger and adventure.

Design Typography:

A clean, slightly distressed sans-serif typeface, reminiscent of frost cracks, is used for the main title in bold, all-uppercase letters. Subtle shadows beneath the text make the title feel as if it’s etched into the atmosphere. The author’s name is displayed in a slim, italic serif font for a delicate contrast, placed at the bottom in a smaller, understated size.

Design Layout:

The title "A Place Far From Home" arches just above the figures’ heads, following the subtle curve of the horizon. The subtitle, if any, can be placed just below the main title in a smaller size, adding balance. The author name, "Ellie Grace Gilchrist," is at the bottom against a faint snowdrift, ensuring visibility. All visual elements are centered, with the scene taking up most of the real estate, except for a 1-inch margin of frosted edges.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition leverages the juxtaposition of breathtaking beauty (sunset over icy mountains) with the feelings of cold and fear represented by the isolated children. The contrasting light and dark elements enforce suspense, while the distant forest hints at an adventure yet to unfold. The typography, with its distressed sans-serif for the title, conveys rawness and tension, while the delicate serif for the author name aligns with the aesthetic balance. The placement of all elements ensures the key focus—characters and their environment—stays central, while the UV gloss on the title adds a subtle shimmer. Together, the materials and design evoke both the tactile chill and emotional gravity of the story, ensuring readers feel both awe and unease.
