For this cover, I replaced that crown with barbed wire — a symbol of prison, fences, and the suffering of our time. To me, barbed wire is not only a sign of pain, but also a boundary that separates people from one another.
The drop of blood flowing from it reminds me of sacrifice and the cost of truth.
I drew this image simply, but I wanted it to be deep — a message for anyone who carries their own cross, whether behind bars or in the free world.")

The artwork was created using a collage technique with textured color surfaces to reflect the inner fragmentation and emotional complexity of the theme.
During the design process, I had the myth of Oedipus in mind—guilt not only as a result of action, but as something imposed by fate. The figure’s posture—with the head turned, a protective hand, and a curved body—suggests defensiveness, shame, and the inner conflict between hiding and the desire to be seen.
The unusual red blotch stretching from behind the head to the hand evokes a wound—an unerasable mark, as if guilt has been inscribed on the body without a clear source.
The tension, doubt, and layered nature of guilt are visually expressed through the contrast of textures, the interplay of vivid and muted colors, and the dissonance between forms—a metaphorical and abstract narrative of internal experience.")

The solitary figure—composed of mismatched color segments—stands with closed eyes and a hand on the chest, suggesting a moment of introspection. Yet the gesture remains ambiguous: is it a quiet act of care or a subtle form of self-absorption?
The uneven color blocks and abstract textures echo the psychological tension at the heart of narcissism—between self-awareness and self-centeredness, healing and denial. The collage technique itself serves as a metaphor for identity: broken, assembled, and constantly in flux.
Minimal typography allows the imagery to remain central, reinforcing the book’s exploration of complexity, ambiguity, and the fine balance between self-love and narcissistic retreat.")

The central image shows a figure with closed eyes, embracing another in a moment of quiet presence. Between them, a small bird appears mid-flight—either just released or on the verge of flying away. The open purple hands suggest not control, but release and acceptance.
The green figure’s hair flows like a soft wave, echoing the natural rhythm found in Zen practice. With minimal forms and a muted, harmonious palette, the illustration mirrors the book’s tone: calm, accepting, and rooted in mindfulness.
As with my other works, the design uses a body-centered, symbolic visual language—stripped of excess, yet emotionally resonant. The goal was to express grief and healing not as extremes, but as part of a fluid and compassionate cycle.")

A pale figure is held by a shadowy form—part void, part embrace—symbolizing both mourning and containment. The faceless figure becomes a universal symbol of presence. Contrasting colors (deep purple and beige) highlight emotional vulnerability, while the minimal, body-centered style conveys quiet intimacy.")

A central figure embraces itself—suggesting both withdrawal and silent care. The posture and asymmetry reflect the tension between despair and the desire for connection. The red-green palette contrasts vulnerability with growth, while the semi-abstract, symbolic illustration evokes Fromm’s humanistic approach. Typography and form flow together to communicate clarity and empathy.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/12446802/755786b0-56e9-4361-b9ff-7be469176646 "This design visualizes shame and psychological defense through a minimal, body-centered figure. A bowed head and raised hand suggest both hiding and self-soothing, while flowing red tones evoke emotional intensity and the potential for healing. The curved form and harmonious palette reflect inwardness, while the typography supports the book’s clinical yet compassionate tone.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/12446802/f728c4e8-f06b-4374-8bba-2497017311ce "This cover uses a symbolic composition to reflect the inner struggle and the possibility of rescue. Two figures—one climbing, one helping—are placed within the silhouette of a human face, visualizing the process of psychological recovery. The rope connects collapse and hope, while the flat, minimal style and limited palette (green, purple, blue) emphasize emotional clarity. The design aligns with my visual language: body-centered, metaphorical, and emotionally charged.")

The smoke and arms outline the bottle, while the liquid’s surface hints at an eye—inviting the viewer into a quiet, inward confrontation. Using a minimal, flat visual style and a sharp red–navy palette, the design expresses both the seductive surface and the inner damage of substance use. Clean typography supports the scientific content while the illustration carries the emotional tension.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/12446802/de1e1543-e0f6-4c3d-ba96-37ba35832bc1 "Inspired by the myth of Sisyphus, this cover visualizes the endless inner struggle with fate. A central figure lifts a circular form, within which smaller repetitions of the same figure suggest a loop of eternal effort. The design merges psychological and mythological themes through symbolic, body-centered illustration and a dynamic circular layout. The use of deep blue and warm yellow heightens the tension between the burden of destiny and human resilience.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/12446802/3ee25e60-6ead-4030-9381-d63229f77c10 "This design explores the intersection of science and religion, portraying a human figure embracing a symbolic “scientific core” within an arch inspired by sacred architecture.
Using my metaphorical, body-centered style, I combined geometric forms and complementary colors (purple and yellow) to reflect both harmony and tension. The green garment with an atomic symbol visually anchors the scientific theme.
Typography emphasizes the duality—“GOD” stands bold and spiritual, while the rest of the title feels calm and analytical. The concept was first created for the Persian edition and later adapted for English.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/12446802/75e5e712-600b-44df-ae32-facb70eae324 "The cover shows a human figure suspended like a marionette, manipulated by strings emerging from the word “SUICIDE.” This visual metaphor reflects helplessness, lack of agency, and emotional collapse—key themes of the book.
The purple wordmark, green strings, and stark black figure create a tense, symbolic composition. Inspired by The Clown by Heinrich Böll, the image echoes psychological descent.
As in my other works, I used a metaphorical, body-centered visual language. The design combines conceptual illustration with clean typography for emotional impact and clarity.")
