This cover is supposed to look like a missing person sign. This cover shows the dark side of people, while keeping the person missing kind of anonymous. The author of this story wanted the cover to be disturbing and red color.
The main focus of my design was to have someone looking worried and scared. Then I would blur out their eyes and hide some of their facial features to make it creepy. The main focus was mastering the missing sign.
The font and font size both relate to the story because the tile "Missing" is bolded and in all caps to give the urgency of the message. The name of the author is in all lowercase because that is not the main focus of the cover, it should be the afterthought. The back cover is the same way. I bolded and capitalized the title and kept the blurb in the middle to make it as though it was an obituary or poem about someone who died. I chose the font to be Helvetica because that is the most neutral font and this story is the exact opposite. I really wanted that contrast to add to the creepy and disturbing-ness of the story.
