JULY CONTEST: Design a book cover for the Wizard of Oz
-
Another tough one this month. This time its coming from @Jake-Parker
Design a book cover for the Wizard of Oz:
You have been contacted by an art director and they are wanting YOU to design a new cover of an edition of The Wizard of OZ that they will be publishing.
You must make it eye catching and representative of the story. You have creative freedom in style, character design, scenery, and moment.
The cover must be 5.4 inches wide x 8 inches tall with a .25 inch bleed.
Included is a template that you can use to create on. Feel free to use the title design on the template. Or you can come up with your own title design if you want.
That's it, good luck! Excited to see where you all take this!
Jake

Sounds fun! He should have picked beauty and the beast though because it would line up with Anna daviscourts new class
Belle and Dorothy could have similar styling tho ....hmmmm lol -

Is this book cover specifically for the first book by Baum in the Oz series ("The Wonderful Wizard of Oz") or can it cover the whole Ozzian timeline?
