I created a cover for The Great Gatsby using photshop. This is a project I really enjoyed doing and it let me test the knowledge I had about photoshop‚ and about the symbolism in the novel. I wanted to keep the cover rather uncrounded and simple while packing in a lot of this symbolism. I did not include the authors name F. Scott Fitzgereald on my cover because I didn’t want to draw the attention away from the images and colors on the cover. I figured that if this was a real book cover they could

Animal Farm by George Orwell is a great story and has many intriguing and very interesting events‚ yet sadly the book cover is not exciting like the story. To deal with this problem‚ I created a new cover to emphasize the major symbols in the story. I also incorporated a quote into my cover to show the completion of human values taking over Napoleon. Napoleon is the main figure on the cover‚ being dressed in the uniform of Josef Stalin and carrying a whip to mistreat his fellow “equal” animals. The

In dealing with people‚ you can’t judge a book by its cover. Everything‚ or for that matter‚ everyone‚ is not as it or they seem. Every old person isn’t sick‚ every young person isn’t healthy‚ every poor kid isn’t unhappy‚ nor is every rich kid happy. Things vary‚ therefore making people different.

predecessor‚ I wouldn’t blame you if you simply dismissed the newest iteration of Judge Dredd as a forgettable‚ generic action feature‚ or simply a disposable reboot. When hearing about this movie‚ after being informed of the atrocity that came before it seventeen years prior‚ I was one of these individuals who fell into this category. Hearing of the praise this film has received however‚ convinced me to give the world of Judge Dredd a try. I ended up‚ however‚ being very surprised after watching this film
