Design Concept
A black-and-white newspaper print-style illustration of the Capitol building dominates the top half of the cover. Below it, an upside-down church is seamlessly integrated as if emerging or hanging from it. Both images are intertwined by a vintage yellow illustration of a coiled snake winding through and around the structures, blending them into one chilling visual. The background features a textured black, gritty and distressed to enhance the grunge aesthetic.
The title "Progressive Manifesto" is set in a distressed serif typeface with a bold vintage grunge style. Some letters are slightly tilted or appear misprinted, adding to the dystopian tone. The author's name, "Bayani Spradling," is displayed in a smaller, cleaner serif font in yellow, positioned near the bottom edge of the cover.
The Capitol building is centered at the top, the upside-down church below it, and the yellow snake weaves diagonally across both images, connecting them. The title is prominently displayed across the center, with varying font sizes to catch attention. The author's name is subtly positioned below the main illustration to maintain balance while leaving the imagery as the focal point.
The visual composition merges the Capitol and the upside-down church with the snake to create a strong symbolic statement about the lack of separation between church and state, highlighting the book’s themes. The grunge aesthetic adds a dystopian, chaotic feel that resonates with the reader emotionally. The use of distressed serif font amplifies the raw and gritty tone while maintaining a sense of seriousness and formality appropriate for essays. The matte material not only complements the overall vibe but also ensures that the detailing of the scratched black background and yellow snake stands out.
