Designing a Book Cover

Project Overview:

You will be selecting a person from the list below to research.  The book cover will reflect the information you have collected as you create a title for the cover, reviews for the book, information/synopsis about the contents of the book, and a short bio about the author (you!). 

Creating the Cover:

Use the following site as a guide to creating your cover.  Pay special attention to the area you are working on so that you know what belongs in that section.  When you are finished, you will have a front and back cover and a front and back flap.
