Expect Elements: A former soldier from IDF combat turned heroin addict suffering from PTSD who finds a stray dog thatvcalms his demons

Expect Layout: Geller was a combat officer who served in Gaza and carries the horrors of war with him. He is also a heroin addict. Every day, he tries to bend a silver spoon with the power of his mind, believing that if he can succeed in this, he can also pull himself out of his dire situation. Along with a former history teacher and a Georgian who fought in the violent war in Chechnya, Geller spends a rainy Tel Aviv winter in a filthy dump. But one day a dog finds Geller. Beaten and injured, the dog awakens Geller’s demons, but also his emotions. The memories that never let him go now resurface, shaking up his life and his conscience. Doris carries her own tragedy. When she meets Geller, she recognizes in him her dead son as well as her deserting lover. For a moment, the two of them find comfort in each other. But as soon as hope emerges, disaster strikes, rattling the protagonists and confronting Geller with the darkest corners of his soul. Underneath the muck and the pain, Geller pulses with a persistent love of life, of humankind, and of one very special stray dog. In this core-shaking one-of-a-kind novel, Yishai (Ishi) Ron offers a glimpse into the painful world of PTSD sufferers whose lives are one long flashback to the horrible events they’ve witnessed and which their soul cannot forget.

Design Concept

Visual Composition:

A dimly lit scene of a rain-soaked alley in Tel Aviv, with puddles reflecting faint streetlights and dilapidated buildings in the background. A frail man, Geller, crouches on the ground, his face partially hidden in shadow, holding onto a stray dog. The dog looks directly at the viewer with a mixture of pain and hope in its eyes, its fur matted and damp. A silver spoon lies bent on the wet pavement beside them. The colors are muted—grays, blues, and browns—except for a faint golden glow coming from the dog's eyes, symbolizing compassion and resilience amidst the despair.

Design Typography:

The book title "Dog" is presented in bold, sans-serif uppercase letters with a scratched or distressed texture, representing turmoil and inner struggle. Subtle spacing between the letters conveys a sense of fragility. The subtitle (or tagline) appears in a simple, clean serif typeface below, smaller and more subdued, evoking reflection and elegance.

Design Layout:

The title "Dog" is centered at the top of the cover, large and commanding attention. The image of Geller and the dog occupies the central and lower area of the cover, creating a vertical flow from title to imagery. In the lower right corner, a small tagline or descriptive sentence is included. The background of the alley fades into darkness at the edges, guiding the viewer's attention toward the human and dog. The visual hierarchy ensures that the connection between Geller and the dog remains the emotional focal point.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The dimly lit alley reflects the emotional gloom of Geller’s world, while the addition of rain and dilapidation mirrors his inner turmoil and struggles. The emphasis on the stray dog, illuminated with a faint glow in its eyes, signifies the hope and compassion that begins to stir within him. The silver spoon is a minimalist but significant symbol of his ongoing battle with addiction and desire to regain control of his life. The typography aligns with the tone of the novel—distressed and raw for the title, while the tagline’s clean serif font injects a touch of reflection. The matte soft-touch lamination material adds depth and tactility, allowing readers to connect with the intimate and human elements of the story. Spot UV detailing ensures the cover catches the light and the reader’s attention, highlighting the significance of the dog and the title. This cohesive approach balances the complex emotional layers—despair, longing, and resilience—that define this work of contemporary fiction.
