For my proyect I decided to focus on the first part of the book where he gets inside this mad world behind the book shelf, so my heme will be that entrance. A bookshelf with an open portal and the crooked man´s hand on it while David runs away.
I decided to make my cover with canva and use a bit of other photoshop apps on my phone to design the picture just as I want it.
For my book I choosed the normal Ebooks dimensions of standard published book.
My cover will have attractive colors and a big image to have attention, but mostly dark colors to show the book´s personality. I want to relfect the truth of this story with intense images and letters.
I will be testing my cover with other classmates to be sure I proyected everything I wanted and to let them know what the book really talks about and describe it the best way I can.
