Choosing among the readings that you're tackling for this readathon, recreate (or improve!) one of the book covers, magazine covers, or ads.
This challenge may involve you posing for a photo in a quickly assembled period costume (completed with a bed sheet toga!), it may involve sketches, finger paint, the careful positioning of stuffed animals, recruiting friends and loved ones to model, or creating an image on a website like fotoflexer.Get up, move, think artistically and re-create the cover of a book you're reading or plan to read. Most importantly, have fun.
Post your version of the new and improved cover beside a photo of the book's original cover on your blog or other personal website by noon (EST) and leave a link to your post in the comments to this challenge.
One winner will be chosen to receive an online, ten-dollar, gift card to Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, or another book-providing website of his or her choosing.
Update: This challenge is now closed! Thank you to everyone who entered! It was such a difficult decision among the readers who took the time to create covers, that I wound up using a random number generator to choose the winner.
The ten-dollar giftcard will go to Avid Reader. You can see the recreated book cover here.
Thank you to everyone who participated! You created some wonderful book covers!!!!!!
