If you’ve ever asked, “What would happen if Lisa Frank designed a spiritual astrology manual during a glitter spill?” — Melanie Reinhart’s Incarnation is here to provide the answer, in shimmering, confusing, cosmic chaos.
Let’s begin with the title:
Incarnation: The Four Angles and the Moon’s Nodes.
It’s trying to sound mystical, but it lands like a math equation on ayahuasca. And sadly, the cover art is no guiding light — unless that light is the full moon pasted in like it’s auditioning for a night cream ad.
Front and center is… an orchid trapped inside a rectangle, floating in space like a floral Windows 95 screensaver. Is it a spirit guide? A bookmark? A mistake? We’ll never know, because this rectangle is giving “I opened Canva and never looked back.”
Then there’s the background — a speckled blue texture that wants to be the cosmos, but actually looks like the inside of a glitter-shedding birthday card. If the designer’s goal was “cosmic energy meets elementary school art project,” then mission accomplished.
And let’s talk about that moon:
Just chillin’ at the bottom like it forgot where it was supposed to be. It’s crisp and hi-res, while everything else is mid-res at best, adding to the collage-meets-chaos vibe. The moon is probably asking, “Why am I here?” Same, Moon. Same.
The fonts try their best to bring order, but instead they highlight the disorder:
-
The title font screams “epic fantasy.”
-
The subtitle feels like it should be engraved on a sword.
-
The author’s name is bold and bottom-centered like it’s begging to be taken seriously.
Unfortunately, no amount of boldness can save a layout that looks like it was made during a full moon blackout.
This isn’t a cover, it’s a visual riddle wrapped in a sparkly enigma and taped to a moon.
Final score: One cosmic glitter bomb, three floating layers, and an orchid trapped in astral purgatory.
Incarnation? More like Reincarnation of Bad Design Decisions.
