BOOK COVER

Design the cover for your book! 
  
The design has to have this information:
         • Your name
         • The Book's title (do not call it "My book of designs")
         • Images that remind or suggest what is inside the book...

The SIZE is smaller... it is 5 inches wide by 8 inches tall....

POST IT-

Post images of your book designs and answer these questions about the work:

1.  What is the focal point (Emphasis)? How did you make it easy to notice? *using contrast, shape, size, location, color are ways to make it stand out

2. What is the most successful part of your design?

3. What was your theme? How do these images relate to your theme?

MAP YOUR WORK

Use trace paper to create a "map" showing these principals:

Outline and label the border, or edge of the design space.

Outline and label the areas of EMPHASIS- (color it in too)

Draw arrows to show MOVEMENT through the design
              • You can move over lines, edges, shapes, changes in value, or even words....

Color in the NEGATIVE SPACE to show how big it is, where it is and what shape it has...

Put your name on it and pass it in to me, please
