A gradient flows from warm amber and coral at the top through hot pink and magenta into deep purple and indigo, finally settling into black at the base, creating a luminous chromatic descent. Below the gradient sits a row of circular color swatches that mirror the palette above, anchored by bold, angular lettering that reads "SHADES" in a modern, geometric style.

Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
