Resumen de Diseño de portada de libro
Book Cover Design Brief
Title: THE G.A.P.S:
Subtitle: Healing the Voids Brothers Carry in Silence
Author: Ken Cheadle
⸻
Concept Direction
I want this cover to merge two existing design concepts:
1. Man Facing Away (Reflection Theme)
• A Black man (around 40 years old) shown from the back, symbolizing reflection.
• He should be facing younger versions of himself, representing different stages of childhood.
2. Realism & Collage of Memories
• Use the realism and layered texture approach from the second cover.
• Multiple realistic portraits of the boy at different ages (not stylized, but raw, soulful, and true-to-life).
• Background should incorporate layered old photographs, handwritten letters, sepia-toned city buildings, and historical paper textures.
⸻
Key Required Elements
• High School Diploma: Must be present in the upper right of the design (faded, background element).
• Multiple Child Versions: Realistic portraits at different ages, integrated into the collage.
• Mood & Tone: Cinematic, gritty, authentic, emotionally raw.
• Colors: Warm earthy tones, sepia, muted with strong contrast for depth.
⸻
Text Layout
• Title: THE G.A.P.S: (bold, prominent)
• Subtitle: Healing the Voids Brothers Carry in Silence (under title)
• Author: Ken Cheadle (at the bottom)
⸻
References attached:
• Cover 1: Man facing away (reflection theme)
• Cover 2: Realistic child portraits and layered collage feel
