Design Concept
A vibrant scene featuring a young brunette woman with her hair tied in a ponytail. She sits confidently on an iconic 80s motorcycle, wearing a striking pink shocking dress paired with a black leather jacket. The pastel glow of a vintage neon sign reading "Videolocadora" reflects onto the scene, contrasting with the black background. Behind the woman, a charming young man leans slightly, sitting on the motorcycle's garupa (passenger seat), holding up a VHS tape. The overall image is framed with palm tree silhouettes and faint VHS tape wrinkles, evoking a retro 80s vibe.
A playful combination of handwritten script fonts for the title and clean, sans-serif fonts for the author’s name. The title uses a retro neon pink that matches the dress, while the author’s name “Thália L.” is written in a subtle white for balance.
The title arcs at the top of the cover, glowing like a neon sign. The main image (the motorcycle scene) is centralized, capturing immediate attention. Below the motorcycle, at the bottom, sits the author's name in smaller but elegant white text, ensuring it doesn't overpower the main visual. VHS tape strips and playback icons (like little "Play" and "Pause" symbols) subtly decorate the edges.
This book cover design is tailored to evoke feelings of nostalgia, romance, and a hint of humor. The choice of a neon pink script font for the title mirrors the flashy personality and romance of the genre. The use of black as the primary color ensures the other elements—pink dress, neon typography, and retro accents—stand out vividly. Centralizing the motorcycle scene builds immediate visual intrigue while serving as a fitting representation of the characters' dynamic relationship. The VHS strip details and playback symbols transport readers to a bygone era of video rentals, associating visuals with the story's environment. Glossy laminated cardstock ensures durability and also mimics the shiny aesthetic of VHS tapes, further amplifying the 80s nostalgia. With this combination, the cover successfully balances a retro aesthetic, emotional depth, and romance-specific design elements.
