Design Concept
A haunting mix of darkness and vibrancy dominates the cover. A black and green gradient is used for the background, with subtle shadows to create an eerie depth. On the bottom left corner of the cover, a delicate white lotus floats, its petals tinged with a faint glow. On the top right, an aged oak tree with sprawling roots emerges, its gnarled branches extending into the shadows. The two elements are separated by a vast space of foreboding darkness, emphasizing a sense of distance and disconnection. A faint mist surrounds both elements, giving off a dreamlike yet ominous quality.
The title, "命运中的禁誓 (The Forbidden Oath Within Our Fates)", appears in a sharp and angular serif font with slight distressed accents, adding a gothic touch. The color is a pale, glowing green effect, resembling ghostly light. The author name "Felix" is placed at the bottom center in a minimalist sans-serif font, in white, small yet readable.
The text is purposefully separated from the core visual elements while remaining balanced in placement. The title is positioned at the top center of the cover, floating just above the oak tree. The author's name is placed below the lotus, creating a symmetrical diagonal flow. Negative space emphasizes the divide between the lotus and tree, amplifying tension.
The visual composition draws the reader into an eerie, emotional ambiance, which fits perfectly with the genre’s themes of horror, love, and trauma. The separation of the lotus and oak mirrors the titular "forbidden oath" and the fated disconnection of the characters or themes. Typographically, the gothic serif font for the title offers an edge of drama and otherworldliness, while the clean sans-serif font for the author name ensures simplicity and readability. A matte finish enhances the dark tones, while spot UV gloss adds depth and intrigue, drawing attention to key symbolic elements like the lotus and oak tree—the story's central visual metaphors.
