<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi collective brain! <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I am weeding some books at my school, and of course, have come across some great titles with boring and outdated covers. Has anyone done a project with students where they created new covers for old books that was successful? I am thinking
of having students re-create covers using an online program like Canva to make them look more professional. I would love any ideas or suggestions you have.
