“The Princess & The Assassin” is a young adult fantasy novel targeted toward women between the ages of 14 and 24 who enjoy intense, romantic, and intriguing fantasy novels. The cover shows a princess in an elegant gown holding a long dagger, causing viewers to consider the relationship between a princess and an assassin, and that they may be closer than they expect. The concept of the dagger, which represents danger, contrasts with the princess’s delicate hands and gown, which represent status and luxury; the contrast is pushed further by the bright blue-white of the princess’s gown and the dark blue-black of her cloak and the rest of the cover. The Princess’s cloak blends into the background of a dark, foreboding castle to prevent hard transitions between each of the covers. The book is a split-perspective novel that has two main characters; the summary of the first main character’s story is on the back cover while the second main character’s summary is on the inside flap. The imagery is crafted using dark, cool tones, and the text and graphical elements are crafted using bright whites and warm colors to create contrast and increase readability. The element of the dagger and small decorative elements unite the composition across the different flaps and covers.
