Design Concept
A close-up, textured depiction of traditional fishing nets takes center stage—spread diagonally across the cover, with fine detailing of the knots and threads, giving a tactile feel. The background transitions seamlessly from a soft "azul mar" (ocean blue) gradient at the top to a slightly darker, deeper blue at the bottom, imitating the shifting shades of the sea. Subtle silhouettes of fishermen and fishing boats appear in the far background, blending naturally into the scene without overpowering the fishing nets, serving as a nod to the fishing culture of Afurada.
The title, "AFURADA E SUA GENTE À MINHA MANEIRA," is presented in an elegant serif font with a modern twist, resembling handwritten calligraphy with soft curves. It is placed at the top center in a clean white color for maximum contrast. The author's name, "MANUEL LAPAS," is in all caps in a small, understated sans-serif font at the bottom center of the cover in a neutral gray hue.
The visual focus is on the fishing nets covering the majority of the design. The title sits prominently at the top, with a strong visual pull, while the author’s name occupies a minimal and balanced position at the bottom. The fishing-themed gradient background transitions horizontally to create depth. No decorative elements distract from the central story conveyed by the nets and subtle silhouettes.
This design highlights the personal and nostalgic connection to Afurada while creating an atmosphere that is both emotional and visually immersive. The fishing nets dominate as a symbol of continuity, hard work, and the fishing community's charm. The blue gradient reflects the sea, delivering a soothing yet evocative mood that aligns with the romance genre. The choice of serif calligraphic font for the title makes the design feel intimate, while the sans-serif font for the author’s name provides balance and modernity. Textured matte paper works well to convey an additional layer of realism, giving the audience a sensory connection to the book's fishing village theme. The UV spot gloss on the title subtly draws attention, ensuring it stands out against the net-draped background without detracting from the overall organic aesthetic.
