The choice of a grey color scheme and dim lighting sets a somber tone. The close-up image of a person's face, partially obscured in shadows, symbolizes the inner struggles and challenges depicted in the book. The distressed typography adds a sense of turmoil and hardship, while the clean font for the author name provides a contrast. The centered layout draws attention to the title and author name, with the image above, capturing the viewer's attention. The matte paper stock enhances the overall mood and helps to minimize any distractions from reflections or glossiness.
