Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover features a broken glass cup prominently placed in the foreground with sharp shards scattered around. A static-filled TV in grayscale casts an eerie glow in the background, slightly faded to give depth. Around the broken glass cup are crushed beer cans and an empty Fanta bottle lying askew, creating a chaotic yet poignant scene. The overall color scheme is dominated by black and white tones for a somber effect, with subtle touches of muted colors for the bottle and cans.

Design Typography:

Angular, minimalist sans-serif font for the title ("Echos in Empty Glasses"), white in color, bold, slightly distressed to convey feelings of brokenness. The author name, "Eva Blackburn," appears in a smaller, clean sans-serif font at the bottom, in muted gray.

Design Layout:

Title placed centrally near the upper-middle part of the design, directly above the focal broken glass. Author name positioned near the bottom-right corner without pulling too much attention. Visual elements distributed to maintain balance—TV on one side, bottles and cans scattered around the glass on a diagonal plane.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition of this design aims to evoke feelings of despair, chaos, and subtle hope. The broken glass symbolizes emotional fragility and the static TV adds a sense of disconnection or lost communication. The scattered beer cans and empty Fanta bottle further emphasize the theme of emptiness or abandonment. Black-and-white tones help bring out the sadness while the muted colors of the objects prevent the design from becoming overly monotonous. Typography is deliberately chosen with distressed and minimalist fonts to reflect the broken nature and somber feelings of the book. The matte finish provides a tactile dimension that roots the cover in the young adult genre, particularly resonating with themes of introspection and emotional struggle.
