Would you judge a book by its cover? Of course!
Join me (Sharon Vidan) for a creative workshop where we will explore and learn about book cover design. We all know that first impressions count, and that's why book covers are so important. In this workshop, children will learn about the elements that make a great book cover, from the title to the images and the relationships between the two.
In this workshop, aimed at bilingual children aged 4-8, we will design our double-sided book cover, combining Hebrew and English, for a unique book that can open from both sides! Both from left AND right (following the example of the book My Heart Is Here and There).
We will use Hebrew and English letters, explore famous children's book covers as examples, and create unique designs.
Using simple, playful techniques, we'll combine the story idea, emotions, images, title, typography, and colours to create a meaningful and eye-catching book cover.
Get ready for a fun and engaging session where you'll learn how to bring your book cover to life!
