For this project, I designed an original book cover for Beneath the Midnight Sky, a short story I wrote. The story follows Jade and her dog Frankie as they race through the Alaskan wilderness, striving to catch the last shuttle to a Mars settlement after a nuclear disaster on Earth.

Beneath the Midnight Sky book cover design
The book cover design for Beneath the Midnight Sky visually captures the story’s essence through bold, minimalistic imagery and use of negative space. The silhouette of a bear and dog is prominently featured, with the figures of the protagonist, Jade, and her dog, Frankie, trekking across the bear’s form. The backdrop of the large, pink moon contrasts against the blue sky, symbolizing both Earth and the distant Mars settlement.
