I ended up being assigned the front cover for the history book. I wanted the cover to look like it covered various times throughout history but I also wanted the cover to hint at what was inside. I knew that when we made our spreads that only certain topics were included, so I decided to take classmates spreads and make a collage out of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the successful things I did were making the cover look interesting without being too busy or messy. I also think the placement of the title works well as it grabs your attention. I also like the title I used because it sounds more interesting than just titling it “history book”. I also made sure to give the cover bleed room which is why the edges are white and red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some things I could improve on would be to format the spacing of the title better. I also wish I had waited longer for the ink to dry because some parts smudged a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would give myself a 9\/10 for this cover. I think the finished product looks really good and it really captures your attention. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
