NLÉ's book cover design for "African Water Cities" is a visual metaphor for the book's exploration of the dynamic relationship between water and urban development in Africa. The blue tint on the cover image, reminiscent of water's ebb and flow, evokes fluidity and adaptability.
The thin, sans-serif typography, rendered in stark white against the blue backdrop, adds a touch of modernity and sophistication. Its simplicity allows the cover image to take center stage without any distractions to the contents.
When the book is shelved, the title on the spine serves as a subtle yet powerful reminder of the book's focus on the intersection of water and urban life. This design choice ensures the book stands out, inviting readers to explore its pages and delve into the complex issues it addresses.
