Location on this date: Keeley Street
Tutors: Alison BarrattDO judge a book by its cover! That’s what buyers do, which publishers know only too well of course. That’s why ‘cover designer’ is a whole job in itself – often distinct from book designers (who deal with the rest of the book).
If you’re an author/illustrator submitting picturebooks to agents and publishers – a compelling cover design is essential. And the same goes if you’re self-publishing, of course.
Learn from a seasoned designer/illustrator all the ingredients of brilliant cover design, and, most importantly, how to create one for your book – be that something you’ve created yourself, or a favourite tome you want to pay homage to.
You’ll journey from traditional media to Photoshop, applying the keystone principles of layout design as you go. You’ll also learn about effective typography, and how to apply type to your designs.
