The juxtaposition of fire, a weapon, and a desperate escape in a plane conveys a sense of danger and urgency while maintaining ambiguity about the story's outcome. The distressed typography style and fiery-red-to-ash-gray color palette express emotions of fear and loss, aligning perfectly with the requested emotions — scared, sad, and surprised. The matte finish helps suppress unnecessary glare, creating a dark, somber feel, while the spot UV glossing on the flames mimics their brightness and heat, adding texture and depth. Embossing the title makes it visually stand out, while the metallic ink for the author’s name subtly highlights its significance without distraction. This blend of materials and design elements ensures that the cover is both visually striking and emotionally resonant for readers of dystopian fiction.
