Novel Threat:
A Pen & Dagger Novel, Book 1

Synopsis

In a world of covert codes, two CIA operatives must infiltrate a New York Publishing House, where every word on the page could be a weapon.

Deliverables

  • Primary book cover (print)

  • Spine and back cover layout

Design Approach

I designed a dynamic cover that blends intrigue with approachability, using New York City as a vivid backdrop. Subtle nods to the publishing world—book pages, type elements—are woven into the composition. The palette and tone suggest excitement and adventure without leaning too dark or violent.

Key Design Features

  • NYC skyline integrated into the cover artwork

  • Visual references to pages, writing, and publishing

  • Suspenseful yet inviting color palette and typography
