Design Concept
The cover is set in a nighttime scene in Stockholm, with dark, stormy clouds swirling ominously. A silhouette of a menacing black cuervo (crow) with its wings outstretched dominates the midsection of the cover. In the lower foreground, there's a shadowy figure clutching a bloodied dagger, which trails a streak of red across the cover. Drops of blood splatter onto the title, lending a chilling touch. The background subtly features parts of the Stockholm skyline in grayscale, faintly visible behind the menacing storm clouds.
The book title, *Sombras En Estocolmo*, is in a bold serif font with cracked effects (hinting at fragility and chaos), colored deep crimson red. The author’s name, *Elmy Canela*, is positioned at the bottom of the cover in an elegant yet simple sans-serif font, in a stark white color, standing out from the dark background.
The title is placed prominently at the top center of the cover, slightly overlapping the crow's wing. The shadowy figure and the blood trail are aligned toward the bottom right, subtly guiding the reader's eye across the cover in a diagonal flow. The author's name is neatly aligned at the bottom center. The spacing between elements is well-balanced, ensuring clarity and emphasis on key elements.
The visual composition is designed to evoke a sense of power, love, and betrayal, consistent with the emotion expected from the narrative. The crow symbolizes mystery and death, while the blood signifies violence and passion, aligning with the themes. The typography choice creates a sense of drama, with the serif font for the title adding weight and the cracked effect representing underlying tension. The layout ensures the balance of elements, making the design visually engaging while maintaining readability. Using matte cardstock with UV gloss highlights ensures both a tactile and visual intrigue, drawing focus to critical elements like the title and the blood trail. These elements work harmoniously to create an arresting and memorable cover.
