Design Concept
A bold design features an illustration of the iconic Plateau commune skyscrapers in Abidjan placed in the background and slightly blurred to highlight depth. A striking centerpiece shows a powerful Black woman president with Afro-textured hair in a formal suit holding up the map of Côte d'Ivoire. She has an empowering expression of determination. In the mid-ground, positioned behind her, a group of Black African leaders (male and female) is depicted in an animated caricature style, looking displeased, some with crossed arms or discontented expressions. The overall tone of the cover is a juxtaposition of tension and empowerment, with the orange background symbolizing energy and optimism.
The title "EMERGENCE?" is in a sharp, modern sans-serif font (e.g., Futura Bold) with uppercase letters for emphasis, set in white for contrast against the orange backdrop. The author name, "Nouhryyat Zézé GANIYOU," appears in a slightly smaller, elegant serif font (e.g., Garamond) in black at the bottom for balance and professional appearance. The subtitle (if applicable) can be in italics to create visual hierarchy.
The composition starts with the blurred skyscrapers at the top and the group of caricature leaders placed around the mid-region of the design in a semi-circle. The foreground showcases the Black woman president standing central and confident with the map of Côte d'Ivoire. The title is prominently displayed in the upper section, centered for readability. The author's name appears neatly at the bottom. Illustrative elements are layered to guide the viewer's focus from the top to the centralized subject and finally to the author's name.
This visual design aims to embody the gravitas of women’s empowerment in leadership while embracing the intrigue of socio-political fiction. The caricatures add a layer of humor and relatability, which resonates with the genre and audience. The dynamic orange backdrop conveys energy and warmth, symbolizing the forward motion of Côte d'Ivoire's development narrative. Selecting a sharp sans-serif for the title imbues the work with a modern, bold statement, while the elegant serif font for the author maintains a sophisticated balance. The layout ensures the viewer's eyes are drawn from the impactful portrayal of the woman president to contextually resonate with the setting through urban and geographic cues. Lastly, the matte and spot-gloss combination enhances the premium quality while providing clarity for visual and text elements. This design ensures the book aligns with the genre’s theme of serious humor, empowerment, and a distinct setting within Côte d'Ivoire’s political landscape.
