Psychologie Book Cover Design (Evoking grey)

Visuals: Two life-sized silhouettes face each other against a textured grey background. The silhouette to the left has soft, white glowing aura edges, conveying an open and calm demeanor, with arms loosely hanging down at their sides. The silhouette to the right has a sharp, aggressive red aura wrapping tightly around their form; arms are crossed in a defensive yet dominating posture. The two figures are centered, leaving negative space around them for balance.

Typography: The title, "PERVERS NARCISSIQUE comment les reconnaitres," is presented in bold, sharp, sans-serif uppercase font, in white for high contrast against the grey backdrop. The author’s name, “JORDAN DURANTE,” is in smaller and subtler font, with a calm grey tone placed below the silhouettes.

Layout: The title is placed at the top of the book in a clear, bold style. The author’s name is placed at the bottom middle. The silhouettes dominate the center of the cover, with their auras subtly bleeding into the grey background. The design uses symmetry while letting the negative space highlight the emotional intensity of the contrasting figures.

Explanation: The visual composition symbolizes the dynamic between the victim (soft aura and lowering arms) and the narcissist (aggressive aura and crossed arms) using body language and contrasting colors of white and red. This contrast mirrors the psychological tension at the core of the book’s theme. The grey background reinforces the seriousness and neutrality of the content. The typography combines clear, modern fonts with a crisp hierarchy, ensuring readability and immediate identification of the subject matter. The matte paper underscores the psychology genre, providing a calm, non-glossy texture to appeal to a sophisticated and thoughtful audience.
