Horror Book Cover


 Finally finished my book cover! I took this photo of a long hallway, and I immediately thought that this is the one for my book cover. The ominous feeling that the long hallway was giving was perfect. 

I researched how horror genre book covers need to convey horror, and I found that the almost all of the book covers have the color red. Which I found out is because red is linked with blood, fear and mystery.  Many of these books that I have seen have these weird and unusual fonts which I decided that I would use this in my book cover. 
Editing my photo into to the perfect cover for the horror genre was easier said than done since it was my first time ever using InDesign. All my plans were put to a halt, I couldn't figure this new program. Thankfully I finally got it, thanks to tutorials on Youtube
I first changed the color of the photo into a red gradient following conventions of the horror genre. I changed the font and the color of the title to add mystery, as well as added a subtitle to also add mysterious. In end, this what came up and I am proud on how it came out.
