The Bond They Fear
A long, specific subtitle on a confrontational title. The cover has to stay readable when Amazon crops it to a narrow column.
By William Capers. Nonfiction cover design. Paperback.
Why Empowered Bonds Between Black Men and Black Males Undermine Systemic Control
This jacket is a type problem more than an illustration problem. The main title is the line people remember. The subtitle is a full argument, so it is set to wrap cleanly under the title instead of competing with it. Paperback proportion keeps the author name anchored at the bottom, where retailer grids expect it.
