Symbols Guide Or How To Book Cover Design (Evoking easy, help, and electrical)

Visuals: A background featuring subtle illustrations of electrical circuits and HVAC components in light blue tones. The cover is divided into two sections, with the top portion showcasing stylized, minimalist electrical symbols and the bottom portion displaying an HVAC unit sketch. The author's name is displayed at the top, while the book title is placed prominently in the middle with a subtle shadow effect to create depth.

Typography: Bold, modern sans-serif fonts are used for the title "Electricidad Facil," with uppercase letters, while a clean, legible sans-serif font is chosen for the author's name "Alex Rivas.".

Layout: The book cover is split into two halves horizontally. The top half contains the author’s name and the electrical symbols against the blue background. The bottom half presents the book title in large, bold letters with an HVAC unit sketch, coherently tying the visual and textual elements.

Explanation: The visual composition employs a minimalist approach, using symbols and sketches to directly reflect the book's subject matter—an accessible guide to electrical wiring and HVAC systems. The decision to split the cover into two distinct sections allows for a clear focus on both topics while maintaining a cohesive design. Light blue was chosen as the primary color due to its association with trust and knowledge, aligning with the book's intent to offer reliable guidance. The choice of a matte paper finish ensures that the subtle design elements remain easy on the eyes, while the spot UV gloss adds a touch of sophistication and draws attention to the main text elements, enhancing the overall professional appearance of the book.
