Black Parenting And Families Book Cover Design (Evoking sad, angry, and regret)

Visuals: The cover features a close-up view through a window with cracked glass, providing a view from the inside of a room. In the foreground, a high school girl wearing a hijab sits on her bed, focused on writing in her diary. Visible through the cracked window are two mothers and a father, both wearing hijabs, engaging in a heated argument outside the room. The room is bathed in dim light, enhancing the somber mood.

Typography: The title "Rumah Yang Retak" is in a bold, jagged serif font to emulate the cracked glass theme. The author's name "a" is placed below the title in a simple, elegant sans-serif font to establish contrast and balance.

Layout: The text is harmoniously integrated; the title is positioned at the top to overlay the image of the room, while the author's name is placed subtly at the bottom. The image of the girl and the scene outside the window dominate the center, drawing the viewer's focus.

Explanation: The visual composition centers on the theme of a fractured home life, represented by the cracked glass symbolizing broken relationships. The choice of a hijabi high school student writing in a diary highlights the personal and confidential nature of her emotions amidst family turmoil. The typography selections enhance the emotional tone the jagged font of the title reflects the sense of destruction and fragility, while the simpler font for the author’s name allows it to be understated yet present. The thoughtful use of materials, such as the matte finish and embossed texture, adds depth to the physical touch of the book, making the cracks on the glass feel real and impactful, effectively conveying the themes of sadness, anger, and regret inherent in the story.
