I love this project. My senior design students are asked to choose their favourite novel and redesign the packaging for it. The Imagery must be photographic in nature and must represent, symbolically, thematically or metaphorically the novel itself. They must design the type as well, keeping in mind visual hierarchy and applying symbolically appropriate design decisions (commonly, the most difficult aspect of this project). they must include synopsis', author bio and photo, reviews, and publishers marks in a realistic and appropriate manner. Not only that - all of this needs to be formatted into a document that wraps around an actual book perfectly. I love challenging my students - especially my senior ones - as it is so gratifying when they meet, and exceed, those challenges.
