\"I've had most of my covers be a little avant garde, but with this cover I'm looking for something that screams NYT bestseller. Even cookie cutter if it has to be. I'd like the colors to pop, the name and book title to be pretty big. I think either the ocean or a yacht should be in the design, considering the title and how it ends. Blood in the water or on the yacht might even work.\"")

**Goal:** To create a design with maximum impact and urgency that instantly conveys the book's actionable content and serious subject matter.
**Execution Details:**
1. **High-Contrast Composition:** I used my expertise in **photo manipulation and compositing** to layer fire and textured elements onto a dark, gritty background. This symbolizes the raw challenge and essential nature of survival.
2. **Color Palette:** A high-contrast palette of black, fire-red, and distressed yellow was chosen to create a visual alarm and ensure maximum visibility on retail platforms.
3. **Typography:** The custom-distressed, bold typography is designed to be aggressive and instantly readable, enhancing the sense of urgency.
This design showcases my ability to create strategic, visually impactful covers for competitive non-fiction niches.")

This cover was designed for a **Dark Drama/Suspense novel**. Although the entry was not selected, I am highlighting it in my portfolio to showcase my skill in **creating a dramatic atmosphere through expert photo manipulation**.

The design focuses on using strong chiaroscuro effects (contrast between light and shadow), selective coloring (green highlights), and composite imagery to create a tense, mysterious mood. The bold, all-caps typography complements the heavy, dark visual, proving my ability to use photography to establish an immediate sense of suspense for the reader.")

This will appeal to the target audience. The contours and shadows of the chessboard image suggest darker themes and hidden depths to the reader. The white pieces battling against the darker pieces suggest a battle of some kind against something darker. But also suggests that there is hope/overcoming of something because the white pieces are in the foreground.
The red 'gripping memoir' will catch the eye and tell the reader what they can expect.
The larger font for the author name suggests experience and importance, making the reader feel as though this author is perhaps already known and therefore making them more comfortable to buy from someone they haven't read before.
The split title font suggests the cracking or breaking of a person's psyche and the possible damage that has been done to them. It is also eye-catching.")
