Sonho Versos À Afurada E Sua Gente Book Cover Design (Featuring barcos, redes, and peixes)

A rich illustration of a serene shoreline scene at dusk, where the silhouette of traditional fishing boats (traineiras) is prominently featured. The boats are outlined with intricate patterns of fishing nets cascading from their sides, accompanied by oars resting against the boats. Above the scene, a regal golden queen’s crown floats in the sky like a majestic emblem, symbolizing Afurada’s pride. The ocean and sky melt into shades of deep sea blue, transitioning to lighter turquoise tones, with faint silhouettes of fish swimming below the surface.

The book title, "DOCE E BELA AFURADA," is written in a hand-drawn, elegant serif font that mimics old calligraphy, slightly weathered for a rustic effect. The author’s name, "Manuel Lapas," is displayed in a clean, modern sans-serif font below the title, ensuring clarity while maintaining simplicity.

The crown is anchored near the upper third of the cover, centered against the gradient blue sky. The title is spread prominently below the crown, layered above the coastal imagery. The boats, fishing nets, and other elements symmetrically arrange around the bottom half of the scene. Manuel Lapas’s name is placed in smaller font beneath the main visual, slightly right-aligned for balance.
