Design Concept
A photograph of a polluted riverine system in a Global South country, featuring a mix of vibrant and muted colors that reflect both the beauty and the devastation. The river snakes through a weaving mesh of plastic debris interspersed with human activity, with macroplastic pollution taking the central focus. A faint mosaic of broken plastic shards overlays the entire cover, giving the appearance of fragmented puzzles, symbolizing the complexity of the issue. A subtle gradient transitions from the bottom (dark, polluted tones) to the top (smoky, murky hues), emphasizing the layered impact of pollution.
A bold, modern sans-serif font for the title with a fragmented effect applied to the word “plastic puzzles,” emphasizing the theme of disarray. Subtle curving text elements evoke the flow of a river, contrasting with blocky, static font elements in the subtitle to show the conflict between nature and inconsistency of human interventions.
The title dominates the upper third of the cover, with the fragmented overlay tying into the visual theme. Below the title, the image of the polluted river runs horizontally through the center, receding into the background. The subtitle is positioned just below the title in smaller, cleaner text. Space is left clean along the bottom third for a continuation of the gradient background, enhancing clarity and breathing room.
The visual composition captures the heartbreaking contrast of nature’s beauty disrupted by macroplastic pollution, using rich textures and fragmented symbolism. It mirrors the book’s central message exploring the conflicting and convoluted layers of riverine plastic contamination. The typography uses a fragmented and flowing contrast to align with the thematic struggle between environmental harmony and human-induced chaos. The layout carefully balances text prominence with visual storytelling to ensure recognition and appeal, while the material choice of matte laminate with spot gloss adds an eco-conscious yet sophisticated tactile quality, reflective of the book’s genre.
