Your assignment, due Friday, Sep. 9, at midnight, is to create a book cover for a popularly known book. Use Photoshop and InDesign.
The book cover’s dimensions should be 6″ by 9″ with a spine of 1.5″
Margins:
Inside .75in Outside.5in Top .5in Bottom.5in
Save a pdf of your book cover turn in on Canvas.
Cover must have the following elements
- title
- dominant art
- author
- logo of publisher
- description
It may also have:
- about the author
- review quotes
You aren’t required to use stock photos, but here are a few stock photography websites I find helpful:
- stocksnap.io
- flickr.com
- veer.com (some of these are paid, but for educational purposes only, you can use them)
- OR any of the sites mentioned in this article
Your work will be evaluated based on your application of design principles. The connotation and feel of the cover should match the message of the book.
Some examples (some stronger than others):
