Abstract

Oksanich S.E. Book Design for Illarion Pavliuk’s “I See You Are Interested in Darkness”. Qualification work. Kyiv: Kyiv Capital University named after Borys Hrinchenko, 2025. This qualification work is devoted to the study of the role of graphic design in shaping the visual concept of a psychological thriller, using the illustrated edition of Illarion Pavlyuk’s novel “I See You Are Interested in the Darkness” as a case study. The research explores current trends in book illustration and examines the specific features of visual storytelling in genre fiction targeted at an adult audience. Particular attention is paid to the role of visual language in conveying an atmosphere of anxiety, suspense, and psychological depth, which are central to the narrative. A comprehensive analysis of the contemporary Ukrainian book market was conducted, focusing on the practices of leading Ukrainian illustrators and their methods of visual interpretation of literary texts. The work also reviews approaches to layout, typography, cover and dust jacket design, color palettes, and stylistic techniques that enhance the emotional resonance of a literary work. As a result of the research, an original book design concept was developed, comprising a custom cover, dust jacket, title spreads, interior illustrations, and typographic styling. This qualification work aims to enrich the visual culture of Ukrainian publishing and contribute to the development of high-quality book production.
