Harry Potter book cover interpretation

This is for my final project in my Freshman English II class, lol.

Here's the abstract I turned in for it:

Quote:

I decided to take a cue from my last essay and design my own Harry Potter book cover for The Sorcerer’s Stone. As quoted in my essay, “Different sales channels have different sensibilities.” The book jacket I am creating focuses on and appeals to the sensibilities of the post-modern hipster. This project will demonstrate my artistic ability to re-interpret The Sorcerer’s Stone.

I think I might change the font/color of "And the Sorcerer's Stone" but I'm not sure yet. I'm not going to bother with the info on the inside flaps.

Any comments or suggestions?

There's 2 paragraphs of English on this.

Aren't you suppose be writing something, rather than making another one of your demented sparkling pretty unicorns photoshop thingies?

Oh that summary is copied from the published version. Another person is making Harry Potter cupcakes. The project can be pretty much anything at long as it relates to Harry Potter. The teacher actually made this assignment because she was tired of reading essays. It wouldn't be in my favor to turn in another essay.

I hope you weren't hoping to learn anything about English this semester.

Each instructor who teaches Freshman English II gets to choose a book on which the class analyzes all semester. Some books the other teachers used included Lord of the Flies, Brave New World, and True Grit. I was sooooo fuckin relived I wasn't stuck in the True Grit class.

Yeah I realized it was old, but worth a shot to get the dong out there and all. Congrats on the A.
