on YOUR book cover...

Seeing that we all are kind of like a book, we all have a cover, and several hundred pages inside! I am wondering, if your life was a book, what would the cover look like? Would your cover be in black or white or in color? Would it be a hard cover or a paper back? Would it be in glossy or matte finish? Would there be text, photos, or both? Would you be the author, or would it be a biography? If color, what colors would be represented on the cover? What time of photos? What type font? Remember, this book, or this book cover is a representation of you, so you want it to speak volumes, or at least umbrella the hundreds of pages that follow on the inside. This is your book, the facade to your life, and your life story!

Today's activity: design your book cover

Today I encourage you to design the book cover to your life story. How do you want your life to be represented via a book cover. This is an activity you can create in your mind, or even one you can put on paper. I want you to think long and hard about what would be represented about you on the cover of the book. Im assuming you'd want to highlight the very best things about you, but that may not be the case. Think about photos, color, black & white, text, font, etc. Really think this through. This should be a really fun project that will get you excited about he person you are, and how you would like yourself to be represented to others. Remember, this book cover is much like a first impression, so in any case, you'll want it to be your best work. Think about it, visualize it, and who knows, before long, your book may be on the New York Times Best Seller list! Enjoy!!!
