The fuzzy, glowing title contrasts with the oppressive spherical bars, creating a visual representation of being alone and confined. The subtle distortion of the font adds an extra layer suggesting unease, while the clean author name anchors the design without detracting from the central image. The black matte finish paper heightens the sense of darkness, while spot UV gloss makes the spherical bars tactile and evident. Metallic ink on the title adds a faint, glimmering glow when tilted under light, intensifying its disturbing presence while remaining visually subtle. This design captures the stark emotional tone of the book while remaining striking and memorable.
