Before class today, I hit up the Mac lab in an attempt to rework the features of my book cover before it was due. The font, the binder color (from hunter green) and an edit on the back cover copy. I also increased the size of the trees on the front cover to lessen negative space and create a more dominant approach of the forest (of which the main character was trapped after his plane went down in the Canadian woodlands).

My professor is pleased with the outcome, as am I…and this makes the world a happy place.

The only drawback is that I do not own this book (which I should) and we were to copy the dimensions to wrap the book with. I used relative dimensions from another book. So…come Wednesday, the cover will read Hatchet, but the reading will be “A daily dose of history.” You think this will confuse the reader?

Either way, an educational read.
