As much as we don't want to admit, we do judge a book's value on its cover. The Great Gatsby has an interesting cover. For this assignment you will create a new cover for The Great Gatsby, you can make it yourself by hand, using colored pencils, makers, crayons, etc,. You can also make the cover on a computer with Photo Shop or using another application. You have total creative freedom on this project, I want to see how you would make your covers. They can be funny, unique, artistic, serious, or goofy, anyway you want to make them.
When everyone has turned in their covers we'll vote on the best cover. To keep them anonymous know your cover and put your name on the back, we'll cover it with a post it note so that it won't damage your artwork. After we've voted on a best in the class that cover will go against the other winners from the other classes and then we'll vote on who has the best cover!
The only rule for this project is that you don't plagiarize another cover and pass it off as your own, that's the only way you will receive a 0 for this project. Everyone that does this project, has fun, and puts forth effort on their cover will receive full credit.
