The cover utilizes a high-contrast black-and-white palette. A stark, grainy texture inspired by 1980s film noir posters is applied across the surface to evoke a vintage and mysterious feel. In the center, a shadowy silhouette of a man — presumably Leo — is half-blurred, walking down a desolate, foggy street. Surrounding the figure are fragmented "newspaper clippings" with jagged edges and partially readable text, hinting at crime and a missing person’s case. The background is slightly offset to give a distressed and layered look, emulating old 1980s investigative tabloids. The title, “Missing Leo,” is splashed prominently in bold, iconic lettering, slightly askew, mimicking the ransom-letter effect with an edgy modern twist.

The visual composition aims to encapsulate the haunting and mysterious elements of a disappearance by channeling the 1980s aesthetic through noir-inspired texture and shadowy visuals. The silhouette creates intrigue while maintaining a minimalist approach, ensuring the story’s mystery unfolds visually without revealing too much. Typography choices connect directly to the crime-and-investigation mood, using bold headlines for dramatic impact and typewriter fonts for journalistic authenticity. The gritty and grainy textures combined with matte stock materials evoke a tactile, old-era poster feel, enhancing curiosity and excitement. The strategic layout draws the viewer’s eye to the missing Leo figure first, then gradually reveals surrounding clues, inducing anxiety and pulling readers into the haunting narrative.
