Teaching methods

In this workshop we will design a book cover, from start to finish. We will review all the aspects to consider in creating a
cover, such as typography, color, illustrations and photos, and a quick tour of the sector, talking about books, publishers and
authors. Together will learn about the importance of analyzing the text, knowing what genre it belongs to and who its readers
will be.

The project consists of the design of three book covers for the
same book with different styles, as well as the interior layout.
Choose your favorite book and think if it would be possible to
make a new design. If you don't know which book to choose,
think of a movie that is based on a novel and make a design
thinking of the book, not the movie..
