- Book Cover of the Year Awardee

Managing Your Finances God's Way by Gladys Juma (KE)
The cover is simple yet pleasant and easy on the eyes. It draws the audience to the subject at hand effortlessly. The colors are warm & applied well in contrasting yet complementing the overall design of the book cover. Nice meshing of Golden Yellow and Jade. The background image does not overwhelm the typography. The imagery on the forefront supports the main title. There is clear distinction with the text titles. Clarity of title and subtitle. Balanced use of singular font. Witty use of cover space broken down in three - (i) Title/Subtitle and Image (ii)Author & Author's other publication (iii) Foreword and Testimonial acclaim.

Belonging - The Tale of an Orphaned Girl (UG)
Image of the girl's eyes on the cover makes me want to read and know about the orphaned girl's story immediately. It has an emotional appeal that resonates with the title.
The first impression of the book cover of “Belonging” displays a distinct visual style that stands out with a clear art direction. Attention to detail has been applied, therefore easily drawing the audience to read the book with ease. The cover design clearly tells the audience what the book is about and keeps true to the spirit of the book. The imagery is design friendly and balances well with the typography.

The Ghastly Makungu Forest by Victor Karol Maingi (KE)
The choice of font (type and color) and how it blends background picture with the subtle hint of blood reflects thoughtful design. The title is well balanced on the cover. That kind of symmetry and play of space will always be an eye stealer for a potential reader to be lured and be more curious about a book. Titling, Font Choice, Image and Balance of elements on the cover go a long way. I tried putting myself in a modern bookshop shelf space. I asked myself looking at the covers and genre which book would I lift off the shelf. I would lift this one.

Breaking Free - I Am Not Bipolar by Angela Nsimbi (UG)
The first impression displays a distinct visual style that stands out with a clear art direction. The cover design clearly tells the audience what the book is about and keeps true to the spirit of the book. The imagery is design friendly and balances well with the typography. The colours of the book are inviting with the text well placed. Text hierarchy has been followed and the fonts complement the imagery.
