This project involved designing a dynamic and suspenseful book cover for Death by Deadline, a thriller novel about a graphic designer racing against a deadly deadline. I developed the concept from the ground up—crafting the visual narrative, defining the tone, and directing the composition to reflect the high-stakes atmosphere of the story.

Drawing inspiration from bestselling thriller covers, I applied principles such as balance, focal points, negative space, and typographic hierarchy to create a professional, lifelike design. I also wrote the tagline and back-cover synopsis to ensure consistency in storytelling and visual branding. The final piece merges narrative and visual tension into a polished, market-ready book cover.
