Red Girl Fear Curiosity Horror Intrigue Chains Anxiety Ghost Police Tape Monster Marcos Military Cap Jeepney Poblacion

Design Concept

Visual Composition:

A dark, ominous background featuring silhouettes of a sprawling Poblacion neighborhood. In the foreground, a young girl is captured mid-stride, running with an expression of terror and determination. Behind her, the abstracted figure of a grotesque ghostly form looms, subtitled with cryptic, haunting details symbolizing the Marcos Dictatorship—chains, a silhouette of a military cap, and historical imagery. The front and center element is a vibrantly colored Philippines jeepney slightly askew, its vivid colors contrasting the sinister aura. A police tape is draped across the lower cover, partially wrapping the girl and jeepney, alluding to a crime scene.

Design Typography:

Bold, distressed sans-serif for the title "Tumakas," with jagged edges. The author's name, "Christopher Villanueva Blackett," in a clean, understated serif font.

Design Layout:

Title "Tumakas" prominent at the upper center of the cover, slightly curving over the chaotic scene beneath. The author’s name positioned at the bottom right corner, providing balance. The police tape slashes diagonally from the left to the right across the lower third, providing dynamism.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition utilizes the Philippines jeepney as a vibrant focal point against the backdrop of fear, with essential cultural and historical symbols integrated into the monstrous form to evoke the haunting legacy of the Marcos Dictatorship. The typography choice of a distressed sans-serif for the title captures the essence of fear and urgency, while the serif font for the author's name maintains readability and offers a touch of sophistication. The layout strategically positions elements to convey motion and tension, suggesting the ongoing chase or escape inherent in the story. By selecting matte cardstock, the cover gains an appealing tactile quality, with spot gloss providing visual interest, highlighting critical cover features and drawing the reader's attention to thematic elements.
