Children's Book Cover and Back Cover






For Project 11- 17 Children's Book, you will create a book for that would appeal to infants to 7 years olds. You may pick to do a Baby's Book or one for an older child. Suggestions on Children's Book are below but are not limited to these options:

Alphabet Book 
Number Book
Recreating a Children's Book already authored but changing the characters (3 Little Pigs to 3 Little Lambs)
Creating your own book authored by you using a character you draw well.
Planets- Solar System
Plant Identification
Tree Identification
Rules of Stay at Home
How to Book (How to wash your hands, tie your shoes, kick a soccer ball, etc.)

My suggestion is to think about what you draw best and than create a story that can use this character. If you draw cats well than maybe write a story about cats. It can be in another language. It just has to be original and NOT PLAGIARIZED.


Inspirational Clipart (If you use these as inspiration you must change the image 80% and changing the COLOR does NOT count in the 80%)

Project 11- Children's Book Cover

OPTIONAL: A sketch of your Book Cover. Email it to me. if you would like help.

For CREDIT you will need a completed Book Cover (8 x 10) executed in Illustrator that has the following:

1. The Environment- A foreground, middle ground and background. Must include a brush, gradients and patterns. In this case a pattern does not need to be in the swatches- it could be a repeated line or leaf.

2. Character(s)- A main character and supporting character(s) that exhibits these qualities: gradients, textures and no/or minimal black outlines. If your book is identifying things or objects like trees let me know as you will need a minimum of 8 inanimate objects (trees) for the book so your cover might be a Forest.

3. Typography- A title that uses a unique font and that has 2 of the following: drop shadow, gradient or pattern in it. (Type- create outlines.) And includes and author in a unique font.

4. Design: The Book Cover is a continuation with the Back Cover or has a seamless transition between the two.

5. Aesthetics: The Bool Cover Design has to have integrity. It needs to show all the skills above in a way that identifies your style.

Publish your Book Cover to your Weebly page titled Children's Book.
Project 12- Children's Book Back Cover

OPTIONAL: A sketch of your Back Cover. Email it to me. if you would like help.

 A Back Cover are more simple then Book Covers.

For CREDIT you will need a completed Back Cover (8 x 10) executed in Illustrator that has the following:

1. The Environment- A foreground, middle ground and background. Must include a brush, gradients OR patterns. In this case a pattern does not need to be in the swatches- it could be a repeated line or leaf. If your book is identifying things or objects like trees let me know as you will need a minimum of 8 inanimate objects (trees) for the book so your Front and Back Cover might be a Forest.

2. Character(s)- A main character and supporting character(s) that exhibits these qualities: gradients, textures and no/or minimal black outlines. 

3. Typography- The text included on the back cover is the purpose of the book. Synopsis if you will. The moral of the story. The why we should read it in text. You must have varied size of text- ONCE UPON a time in a land far away.

4. Design: The Back Cover is a continuation with the Book Cover or has a seamless transition between the two. 

5. Aesthetics: The Bool Cover Design has to have integrity. It needs to show all the skills above in a way that identifies your style.
