The cover features a vivid depiction of a queen's crown at the center, made up of intertwined fishing nets. Inside the crown, a small traditional fishing boat is illustrated, with a fisherman and fish seller (varina) standing on either side, dressed in traditional Afurada attire. Waves in varying shades of "azul mar" flow along the bottom half of the cover, symbolizing the connection to the sea. The background features a subtle gradient that transitions from a calm blue sky to a vibrant sea blue, with faint silhouettes of fishing villages in the distance.
The title, "DOCE E BELA AFURADA - À MINHA MANEIRA," is written in bold serif font, reflecting both historical significance and strength. The font style is reminiscent of old inscriptions but modernized for readability. The subtitle is slightly smaller, styled in an elegant italic serif. The author's name, "MANUEL LAPAS," is positioned at the bottom in clean, sans-serif uppercase letters, emphasizing clarity and simplicity.
The crown containing the boat and fishing figures is prominently placed centrally, ensuring it becomes the visual anchor of the cover. The title is positioned above the crown in large, bold letters, while the subtitle is beneath it with a subtle curve that echoes the shape of the crown. The author's name sits at the bottom of the cover, horizontally aligned. Waves and other sea-inspired elements subtly frame the corners without overwhelming the design.
The visual composition carefully integrates elements central to Afurada's heritage, such as fishing nets and traditional boats, into the crown motif to represent a sense of glory and pride. Using "azul mar" as the dominant color builds an emotional connection to the sea, while the subtle gradient and silhouettes of fishing villages evoke nostalgia and depth. Choosing a bold serif font for the title highlights the historical aspect of the book's content, while the addition of italics for the subtitle signifies a personal, poetic touch. Strategically centralizing the crown design and balancing text elements guide the viewer's eye seamlessly through the imagery and title. Finally, semi-gloss paper ensures that colors and details are vibrant and prominent, while providing a professional finish that speaks to the book's historical and cultural significance.
