The Midnight Library

This conceptual book cover was part of a project at SCAD. The goal was to move beyond a literal depiction of the plot and instead capture the emotional core of The Midnight Library: a story about regret, possibility, and the lives we could have lived.

I explored multiple thumbnail concepts, focusing on metaphor and mood to represent the main character’s internal journey. The final design is based on the theme of shifting perspective, a moment of clarity and quiet transformation. I used a limited, dreamlike color palette and soft lighting to reflect the introspective tone of the story.
