Design Concept
A somber and moody horizon with long dark shadows stretching across an empty playground. The shadow of a single swing gently sways, capturing the essence of isolation and emotional depth. Medium pastel colors infuse the background, representing hope amidst struggle. Subtle textured overlays suggest the complexity of mental health issues surrounding families during the pandemic.
A blend of a modern sans-serif font for the title and a classic serif font for the author's name. The title, "The Long Shadow of Covid-19", is bold with an understated drop shadow, while the author's name, Craig Seacombe, is elegant in a smaller size.
The title is positioned at the top, slightly right-centered, followed by a horizontal line separating it from the author's name at the bottom. The main visual focuses on the playground at the center with shadows extending diagonally across the page.
The visual composition centers on a playground, which serves as a poignant symbol for both childhood and the absence of normalcy experienced by families during the pandemic. The dark, stretching shadows are emblematic of the mental health challenges that have lingered in the wake of Covid-19. Pastel colors introduce a sense of hope, while textured overlays add depth, signaling the layered complexity of the themes. Typography choices were made to contrast modernity and timelessness, reflecting how recent events affect long-standing aspects of family life. The use of matte laminate not only protects the cover but also enhances its tactile and visual appeal, complementing the book’s exploration of heavy topics with a feeling of gentle hopefulness.
