For this book cover, I used an AI-generated image to evoke a cozy mystery atmosphere while integrating key story elements.
I wanted the illustration to be calming and welcoming, featuring Lilli and her zebra, while subtly hinting at the subplot of a girl going missing.
I added a UFO in the distant sky and specific farmhouse details as requested, while adhering to what cozy mystery possibilities look like, but also with the uniqueness of the story itself.
I selected typography that matched a cozy mystery feel. Overall, this cover engages the viewer in a very interesting way while still feeling warm and mysterious.
