Gatsby Book Cover Project

Design a book cover which should include the title, author, and symbolism from the novel.  Along with your book cover, you will write a well-developed paragraph explaining the creative choices that you made when designing your cover.  Your typed paragraph should include a quote/s that reinforce/s the symbolism of your book cover.   Your cover should be no smaller than an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and no larger than a standard poster board.  It will be important for you to explain why the symbols you chose to include are significant.  The entire cover needs to be “flooded” in color, which you should connect symbolically as well.  Be sure to look at various examples before beginning your project to get ideas, but do not copy other ideas.  You may use various art materials: paint, construction paper, glitter, clip art, magazines. If you produce your cover digitally, you will still need to submit a hard copy.  So that you don't use up all your printer ink, print at the public library for a quarter. Get to work on this project if you haven't already. You should have started last week.  Please do not submit something shabby which you worked on in the class period before.  

Here's the website I shared with you in class last week.
