This cover design uses two minimalist icons — a padlock and a skeleton key — to represent secrecy, access, and emotional vulnerability. With their worn metallic finish and sharp contrast, the symbols create a narrative of inner conflict and guarded trust. Ideal for streaming, editorial rollouts, and viral cover art playlists.
Client Brief:
“The whole concept was about giving someone the key to your pain. I didn’t want words — just symbols that made people feel something. The lock and key idea hit right away. It’s clean, heavy, and symbolic — just what I needed.”
