Designing a Book Cover

Specifications: Imagine that you have made such strides in your graphic arts career that you have written your own textbook on graphic design theories! Well, that's what this assignment is. You will design a prototype cover for an imaginary book you have written called "Theories and Principles of Graphic Design." Size of the cover is 8" wide by 10.5" tall (full bleed*.) Include the title, and your name. The market is college students, so try to make a cover design that is visually appealing to a 18-30 crowd. Layout, composition, legibility should adhere to standard design principles. Use all of the expertise and knowledge you have gained in using Photoshop to make this happen.

*Full bleed - means that the image area goes all the way to the edge of the paper, no white border.

Deadline: This project should take you about 7-10 class periods. (est. 2 weeks at most)
