Design Concept
A serene coastal scene dominates the cover, featuring a small fleet of traditional Portuguese fishing boats swaying gently on a blue sea under a warm, glowing sunrise. Fishermen are visible in action, casting and mending nets, while fishwives with canastras (traditional baskets) stand on the shore, framed by rustic, earthy elements reflective of their daily lives. A subtle traditional Azulejo tile pattern is blended into the background to evoke the cultural heritage of Afurada. The title is placed prominently in white, standing out against the marine-inspired backdrop, with a delicate pattern of fish scales subtly mirroring the theme.
A serif font such as "Playfair Display" for the title in uppercase, designed to give a classic yet romantic tone. The subtitle or additional book details in a clean sans-serif font like "Lato,” offering contrast and readability. "MANUEL LAPAS" is written in bold uppercase, placed understatedly on the bottom.
The main visual elements occupy the upper two-thirds of the cover. The title is horizontally aligned and centered across the middle portion of the design. Below the primary imagery, on the lower third, the subtitle or poetic line "Ó Doce e Bela Afurada..." is elegantly positioned. The author name is subtly aligned at the lower right corner, maintaining balance with the rest of the composition while ensuring focus on the artwork above.
The visual composition is designed to celebrate the maritime culture and rich traditions of Afurada, capturing its hardworking fishermen and spirited fishwives against the gentle blue of the sea, symbolizing both struggle and beauty. The homage to Portuguese heritage through Azulejo tile motifs anchors the design in authenticity, resonating with readers emotionally and culturally. The typography strikes a balance between classic romance and modern sensibility, creating a connection between tradition and accessibility while maintaining readability. The materials chosen enhance the tactile element of the book — the matte feel mirrors the weathered hands of the people, while the gloss accents highlight significant visual details, making the book visually striking and engaging to hold. Together, these elements craft a cover that is deeply connected to the genre while ensuring the book stands out as a celebration of Afurada and its people.
