Creating a Book Cover using Indesign
Your dimensions for creating a book cover will be 4 1/4" x 7 1/4" with 1" thickness. The image below is an example of how you will set up your document. The initial file size will be 10x8". You will need to select a book or short novel of your choice. Core requirements are that you need to create your own imagery, include the title of the book, the author, the publisher, and year published. On the back, be sure to include a brief summary of the book/novel. I would like you to summarize this in your own words. Submit to Canvas when completed.
