Book Cover Assignment 03

What is a book cover? 

What is it used for? 

What kind of information must be included on it? 

Think of these questions as you create sketches for an original book cover design. 

Your sketches are your method of visual brainstorming. 

They can be as tight (detailed and carefully rendered) or as rough (simple shapes, figures) as you want. 

The sketches can include words and other notations (such as which filters you want to use).

Once you decide on a sketch, start to acquire the necessary photographs for your art. 

These can be taken from the Internet or they can be scanned.

Criteria:

• Size: 5” x 7” (12.7 x 17.7 cm)
• Show evidence of filter use. Be careful not to over filter and lose your images.
• Include a title.
• Include the author – you. It is not necessary to write ‘by’ before the author’s name.
• Include your sketches.
