Visual Composition:

A trail of blood starts from the top left corner and diagonally drags across to the bottom right corner, implying something sinister being moved. Scattered along the trail are splashes of blood, broken shards of glass stained red, a bloodied butcher's knife lying near the trail on the bottom corner, and fragments of duct tape placed erratically across the design. Blood splattered boots are positioned in the top right corner, casting a shadow over the trail. The title "One Killer" appears in realistic dripping blood font at the center of the design, surrounded by a faint outline of white to create striking contrast. A white handkerchief with blood stains lies crumpled near the center bottom of the design, merging with the bloody trail.

Design Typography:

Distressed font choice with jagged, serrated edges for "One Killer" to mimic dripping blood. The author's name "XYZ" is written in a contrasting simple and clean sans-serif font, placed on the bottom center of the cover in white and red accents.

Design Layout:

Bold and central title placement with all visual elements arranged in a diagonal flow to give the impression of motion and brutality. Layered textures of blood splatters and scattered objects draw the eyes diagonally, creating an engaging narrative through the visual. The author's name is unobtrusive yet visible at the bottom.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition draws the viewer into the story's violent and gripping world. The blood trail unifies all elements while leading the eye across the cover. Strategic placement of bloodied objects serves as chilling fragments of suspense. The typography enhances the book's brutal themes, with blood-dripping fonts for the title and professional simplicity for the author’s name to create a balanced hierarchy of information. Using high-gloss paper stock adds visual depth, while UV treatments and embossing elevate design through touch and focus on key images. This packaging perfectly captures the thriller and suspense genre while making the book memorable and visually compelling.
