This book blends elements of suspense, romance and faith, highlighting the themes of truth, forgiveness and community.
The request was to create a design with an atmosphere of mystery, but also with a sense of spirituality.
A realistic, serene valley at sunset with rolling hills and a quaint small town with a chapel were the more important elements, as well as a pathway symbolizing the journey to uncover secrets.
Having these details in mind, I decided to keep the path in the foreground, along with a large tree that frames the entire scene. This allowed me to include the small town on the horizon, closer to the warm light of the sun.
A subtle placement of an old vintage personal journal was also one of the authors' requests, which helped to add another element of mystery to the cover.
This design was a layout proposal and was never published.
