The cover features a vibrant illustration that captures the essence of Afurada, bathed in an atmospheric blue sea tone. In the foreground, a fisherman mends large fishing nets, with detailed textures. Surrounding him are iconic fish-selling women (peixeiras and varinas) with their traditional attire, baskets full of fresh fish, and boats docked at the harbor behind them. A soft gradient transitions from blue near the water to a golden sunset in the sky, adding warmth. Subtle waves and details of the sea dominate the lower half of the cover, complementing a rugged silhouette of the Afurada coastline.
"AFURADA E SUA GENTE À MINHA MANEIRA" appears in bold, rustic, sans-serif typeface overlaid near the top-center of the cover, with hand-brushed effects to mimic painted wooden signs often found near fishing ports. "Manuel Lapas" appears at the bottom in an elegant, simple serif font, ensuring balance with the title.
The title text is placed prominently at the top, curving slightly to mimic the natural flow of the waves and nets. The focal illustration of the fisherman, peixeiras, and boats occupies the center. The author's name appears in the bottom left corner, aligned neatly in a small white box against the sea texture to ensure it stands out yet harmonizes with the overall design.
The chosen illustration focuses on the cultural heritage of Afurada, immersing the reader in the fishing community through intricate details like nets, fish baskets, and docked boats. Blue dominates the palette to evoke a sense of the sea and connection to the fishing trade, while the gradient sunset adds an emotional depth representative of romance and nostalgia. The bold sans-serif typeface for the title contrasts with the delicate serif of the author’s name to create a dynamic interplay of traditional and modern elements, reflecting the theme of interconnected lives. Matte lamination with spot UV gloss makes the cover both visually appealing and engaging to touch, inviting readers to explore the stories within.
