Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A striking night-time scene with a yellow cab prominently in the foreground, its headlights casting a soft glow. The cab is slightly angled, facing towards the viewer, with the taxi vacant light and the rooftop taxi sign luminous against the darkness. The city in the background is blurred, composed of hazy lights and indistinct skyscraper silhouettes, enhancing the focus on the taxi.

Design Typography:

A bold, modern sans-serif font for the title "Taxi Diaries," with a subtle glow effect to mimic the illumination of neon city lights. The author's name, "Andrew Grant," appears in a sleek, minimalist typeface, placed below the title, maintaining a visual balance.

Design Layout:

The taxi dominates the lower half, with the title arched above the cab's rooftop light. The author's name is nestled below, centered. The cityscape, though out of focus, frames the upper background, grounding the composition in its urban setting.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition of the cover brings a visceral street narrative to life by focusing on the iconic yellow cab, a symbol of countless urban tales. The blurred cityscape implies the endless stories and journeys contained within the metropolis, offering a backdrop that enhances the foreground's narrative intensity. The bold, modern sans-serif font reflects the contemporary urban setting while ensuring readability from a distance. The choice of a matte finish with spot gloss over strategic elements like the taxi and title adds a layer of sophistication and emphasis, drawing the eye to the book's central themes and making it stand out on the shelf.
