Design Concept
A shadowy silhouette of a man stands at the edge of a jagged cliff, overlooking a dark and stormy abyss. His figure is fractured like broken glass, symbolizing internal struggle. The background fades into a gradient of deep gray and black, with subtle textures resembling cracked earth. A faint wisp of smoke or fog curls around the man, evoking a sense of isolation and existential dread.
The title, "desordem," is displayed in a bold, sans-serif font with distressed and broken edges, echoing turmoil. The author's name, "manoel lima," appears at the bottom in a smaller, clean sans-serif font, contrasting the chaos of the title and maintaining balance.
The man's silhouette is positioned at the lower-center-right of the book cover, directly leading the viewer's eye to the abyss. The title is placed prominently at the top-center of the cover, and the author's name is aligned along the bottom. Negative space around the figure emphasizes the theme of emptiness.
The visual composition embodies darkness, fear, and depression through symbols such as the fractured figure, stormy abyss, and fog. The selection of typography—a cracked, distressed font for the title—enhances the emotional intensity and chaotic theme of "desordem," while the clean font for the author name provides grounding balance. The layout emphasizes isolation by placing the man amid a vast, empty space with darkness encroaching from all sides. The tactile matte finish with UV highlights further adds depth, ensuring the book cover captures attention while mirroring the tone of existential despair in the narrative.
