Lightning Humanities And Social Sciences Book Cover Design (Evoking angry)

Visuals: A large, bold illustration of a clenched fist breaking through a brick wall with cracks spreading outward, symbolizing upheaval and resistance. The background is a mix of a fiery red and deep black, with streaks of yellow lightning, creating a sense of urgency and chaos. The book title is placed prominently at the top, partially overlying the fist, and the author’s name is positioned at the bottom in a contrasting color to stand out.

Typography: A heavy, distressed sans-serif font for the book title, giving a sense of raw power and anger. The author’s name is in a cleaner, bold serif font that contrasts with the title, making it easily discernible but less chaotic.

Layout: The fist is centered with the title at the top, following its curve, and the author’s name at the bottom. The background is kept simple but dynamic, with the streaks adding depth. The title is the largest element, followed by the illustration, then the author’s name.

Explanation: The visual composition uses a dramatic central image—a fist breaking through a wall—to communicate resistance and transformation. The choice of fiery red and black colors with yellow accents aims to evoke a sense of anger and urgency, suitable for the political theme of the book. The typography, with its distressed and heavy design, reinforces the book’s message of breaking barriers and upheaval. The contrasting serif font for the author’s name ensures clarity and recognition without competing with the main message. A matte paper with a textured finish enhances the sensation of holding something powerful and raw, reflecting the book's call to action against dictatorship.
