The centerpiece of the design is a majestic gothic window occupying the upper two-thirds of the cover. Tendrils of ivy delicately entwine around its frame, their leaves dark green, contrasting the smoky grayscale of the window's weathered stone. Through the window’s glass panes, a white skeletal hand emerges, holding a luminous amulet that emits a bright green glow, almost lighting the surrounding area. The background transitions from deep black to a muted, foggy gradient, evoking mystery and darkness.

Blood and Porcelain

A grayscale poignant image of an elderly hand being held gently by a younger hand is placed in the center of the cover. The background features a blurred out medical setting with subtle references to hospital equipment, like an IV stand or a patient room curtain, but kept soft and understated. A faint overlay of textures evoking aged paper or light scratches lends an emotive, timeless quality.

Wiping Away Tears, Fears, & Smears: A PSWs Journey in Long-Term Care

The cover features a fragmented smartphone screen that appears cracked and glitchy. Instagram reels, emojis, vintage meme templates, and chaotic digital artifacts spill across the screen, blending into a half-digitized silhouette of a young Gen Z face. The silhouette is split, with one side showing vivid colors of electric blue, neon pink, and purple, while the other side displays grayscale tones blending into a textured background inspired by internet culture. Subtle nods to MS Paint tools, broken text bubbles, and a cursive Tumblr aesthetic are interwoven throughout.

Beyond Memes Emoji Reels Understanding the Gen Z Mindset

A minimalist black background split by a red horizontal bar across the center, symbolizing a strikethrough or censorship line. Above and below the bar, distressed grayscale illustrations of individuals with their mouths covered by tape and broken musical notes scattered across the space. Faint cracks spread outward from the bar, resembling fractures in glass—representing the breaking of freedom.

The Ballad of Story and Song

A soft pastel background in a gradient of peach and mint green, blending seamlessly into one another. The bottom of the cover has a minimal city silhouette in grayscale with a small, detailed college building slightly emphasized in the distance. In the foreground, the silhouette of Rishi (dressed in black with a medium beard and an approachable smile) and Ira, are walking toward each other on a glowing golden path that splits the cityscape. The sunset's warm light adds depth and a sense of tranquility with subtle overlays of trees lightly hugging the frame.

Unwritten Paths

A grayscale city skyline at night dominates the background, with a single blood-red silk scarf blowing in the wind in the foreground, draping over an unseen figure's arm or partially disappearing into the shadows. Faint smoke tendrils and blurred silhouettes of shadowy figures in trench coats are subtly overlayed in the lower third of the cover, hinting at espionage and mystery. The lighting emphasizes sharp contrast between light and dark, with moody noir undertones. The texture of the silk appears vivid and tactile, creating a striking sense of sensuality and danger.

Undercover Silk

A misty, grayscale landscape with undefined, hazy geometric shapes fading into the fog. In the foreground, partial outlines of interconnected systems emerge faintly, symbolizing vague structure and interconnectedness. The background transitions from darker shades at the bottom to lighter tones at the top, representing the process of uncovering conclusions from ambiguity.

grey system modeling

The cover is divided into two halves, each showing the shadow of a different girl. The left half features a shadowed figure of a girl with Big Ben looming in the background, symbolizing London. The right half depicts another girl's shadow with the Eiffel Tower behind her, representing Paris. The use of grayscale tones gives a somber, mysterious feel. The background blends seamlessly where the two halves meet, with a subtle gradient.
