1. Title and Subtitle:

Prominent Placement: Make sure the title and subtitle are the most prominent text on the cover. They should be large, clear, and easy to read from a distance.
Font Choice: Select a font that reflects the tone and style of the memoir. Consider a font with a slightly exotic feel to hint at the cultural fusion aspect of my story.
Visual Hierarchy: The title should be larger and bolder than the subtitle, creating a clear visual hierarchy.

2. Author Name:

Clear and Legible: My name (Oumar Diouf) should be clearly visible, but it can be in a smaller font size than the title.
Positioning: Place the name below the title and subtitle, typically towards the bottom of the cover.

3. Imagery:

Evocative and Relevant: Choose an image or images that capture the essence of the memoir.
Consider images of food, spices, or landscapes from Senegal, Argentina, or Brazil.
i don't want a portrait of myself, but something artistic that convey my personality and connection to the story.
High Quality: Use high-resolution images that will look sharp and professional when printed.
Color Palette: Select colors that are vibrant and eye-catching, reflecting the diverse cultures and flavors in your memoir.

4. Design Elements:

Layout: Consider the overall layout and composition of the cover. A balanced and visually appealing design will draw the reader's eye.
Graphics or Illustrations: You could incorporate subtle graphic elements or illustrations that relate to my story, such as a pattern inspired by Senegalese textiles or a simple line drawing of a cooking pot.
Special Effects: Consider using special effects like embossing, spot UV coating, or metallic foil to add a touch of luxury and texture to the cover.

5. Genre Considerations:

Memoir Conventions: While I want the cover to be unique, it's also important to consider the conventions of the memoir genre. Look at covers of other successful memoirs to get a sense of common design elements and trends.
