On the left side is an art journal illustration in black ink against a bright yellow background of a long haired middle-aged woman with glasses looking unimpressed and holding her phone with both hands to take a mirror selfie. There is a pink crescent shape above her head. The words say, "4am, stomach cramps, skeletor hands, goblin" and "2nd November, 2024." On the right side are cut-out collage letters in pale purple that spell the word "dread" three times, they are scruffily outlined in black pen and are against a bright yellow background.
