Prompt: Time Crash Covers
Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2020 3:42 pm
We’re focusing on historical fiction this month. For this Ink Splatters prompt, we thought it would be fun to send some modern books back in time.
We’d like you to design a cover for an existing book (preferably one set in the present or future) so that it looks as though the plot takes place in the past. You could do this by swapping modern details for something a bit more historical, changing the font, aging the image and even switching the materials used. You can either take inspiration from an existing cover (in which case you absolutely must credit the original artist) or by making something up.
Upload your image to an external image hosting website. Make sure it is no more than 600x600 pixels in size and that you credit any inspiration or images you use from existing works. Also include a brief description of what your image shows.
You'll earn 20 beans for completing this prompt as well as it counting towards the chance to snag our shiny Ink Splatters Award.
There is no deadline as such for these prompts but if you’d like it to count towards your chance of earning the award for a specific year, we’ll need it by the end of that school year. If you’re comfortable sharing, then post below. If not, email your image and description to us via hol.bookclub @ gmail.com (without the spaces).
