Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

A bright, cheerful yellow background sets the tone, with a playful illustration of a father joyfully interacting with his toddler. The father's laughter and the child's glee are captured in a cartoonish style, conveying the excitement and unpredictability of parenthood. Above them, in neat, formal lettering, "DADHOOD" stands prominent. Underneath, the formal subtitle "A Guide To The Joy Of Parenting" is visibly crossed out. Over this, in bold, playful red graffiti ("An Eight-Part Comedy Drama TV Show") contrasts sharply. At the bottom, the same crossed-out effect applies to "You can have it all!" with graffiti replacing it with "Be careful what you wish for!".

Design Typography:

The title "DADHOOD" features a bold serif font, invoking the classic feel of self-help books, juxtaposed by spray-paint styled script for the graffiti, adding a rebellious touch. The authors' names are in a subtle sans-serif, maintaining readability.

Design Layout:

Central figures of father and child, with the title overhead. The crossed-out subtitle and its graffiti counterpart balance the upper area, while the bottom quote and graffiti repeat this balance below. Author names positioned below the image.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition leverages the bright yellow color to evoke joy and energy, fundamental to the book's message. The illustration style adds to a light-hearted feel, making the subject approachable. The typography integrates formal elements for initial impressions of seriousness with graffiti for humor and irreverence, emphasizing the comedic aspect. The layout strategically balances the cover with central imagery and modified text, ensuring comedic elements do not overpower the primary message. Matte-finish material with spot-gloss on graffiti provides a sophisticated look while enhancing the playful design, creating a tactile distinction that draws attention.
