Design a Minimalist Novel Cover with Gravitas

Harmony

Harry Pye

Harry is a produced playwright and has a background in writing and designing games.

This is a "Day After Tomorrow" science fiction novel exploring aliens and deeply hidden secrets, other dimensions and a covert war.

Male, educated, gamer, military, history buff.

Balance between negative and white space (in keeping with the theme of 'harmony'). Scary and mysterious and secretive and understated is the tone I'm looking for. The simple comp attached hints at a human skull or alien torso, I like the tension of the ambiguity there, the 'head' clipped. If not monochromatic, cool tones. Title font should convey gravitas. Concentric ripples would also be thematically consistent, and may be used to obscure or as title text treatment.

Cliche, overstated, lack of ambiguity or tension.
