One of One: A Masterpiece is an invitation to stop anchoring your identity to things that are fleeting, like the approval of people or a status, and instead root yourself in who God says you are. Drawing from her personal story, scripture, and practical reflection, Oluseyi Akogun writes to help people discover their God-given identity and live from the love of the Father instead of striving.
Seyi came to us knowing the cover she had wasn't doing the book justice. She wanted something that would stop someone at their tracks at an airport, stand out on a book shelf, be aesthetic enough to be a center table piece and make someone want to pick it up before they even knew what it was about. Beyond the design itself, she wanted a creative partner who would actually listen and execute excellently within a short timeline.
“Wonderllow delivered my dream book cover in a short period of time. The team is extremely talented, they really listen and have a great workflow. I am truly, fully and overly satisfied.”— Oluseyi Akogun, Author
We were given creative freedom and got to work: research came first with everything we gathered from our strategy call and came back with two concepts and a working mood board. Once Seyi chose her direction, we brought in Ateramo Designs for the illustration, walking them through the brief and aligning on the vision. From there we moved into full production, overseeing the illustration while handling the rest of the book design ourselves.
The cover's central element is an illustration that fuses a human head with a fingerprint, the fingerprint as a person's most unique identifier and the head as a representation of the self. Together they speak to God's distinct imprint on every individual. Olive green was chosen for its weight of restoration and new beginnings, pointing to the shedding of comparison and borrowed labels. When Seyi saw the finished cover, she cried.
