Design Concept
A dark, stormy sky forms the background, with a brightly colored circus tent sitting in the center. A beam of warm golden light escapes from the tent's opening, symbolizing hope amidst turmoil. Silhouettes of two figures—a child and an adult—stand outside, facing the tent, one appearing sad and the other hopeful. Delicate raindrops fall around the scene, with some sparkling as they catch the light near the tent opening.
Simple, elegant serif fonts with contrasting styles for the title and author’s name. The title, *"Vrijdag is de hel minder heet"*, is bold and slightly distressed, to evoke emotion while remaining readable. The author’s name, "Vera van Renterghem," appears in a lighter, more delicate serif style beneath the title.
The tent is centrally positioned with the sky occupying most of the background. The title is placed boldly above the tent, following the curve of the storm clouds, while the author’s name sits subtly below the title. The raindrops and golden light naturally lead the reader’s eye toward the tent and the silhouettes.
For the visual composition, I chose elements that balance sadness and hope, core emotions of the story. The stormy background, coupled with the warm glow of light from the tent, creates tension and contrast to draw the viewer in. The silhouettes add a human touch and suggest relationships central to the plot. The typography's bold yet distressed styling reflects the adventure and action elements of the book while maintaining readability and emotional weight. Soft and matte materials with spot UV enhance the tactile experience, conveying a sense of quality while highlighting important elements like the title and golden light, ensuring it captures attention on a bookshelf.
