Front and Back Covers

The specs for the front and back covers are as follows:

You are to make 2 sets of front and back covers with holes.

• Outside Front should have the title Interpretations, other than that it is entirely up to you.
• Inside Front should include your thoughts about this book even though you are unaware of how the story will unfold for each page from the other artists.
• Inside Back cover should have your artist information that you are the designer of the cover of the book.
• Outside Back cover should of course match the Front cover in a basic way.

Remember you are sending one set of covers to your first swap partner.

Must be completed and in the mail Dec 31 2010

Post pics of both sets of covers to the Interpretations Discussion Post for the Front and Back Covers.

Include a gift packet for your swap partner.

Here are a few snippets of images from Jean's covers that she has shared the progress on. I can't wait to see the finished results.
















You can see more of Jean's progress on her blog.

My own covers are going to be losely based on the avatar and background of this blog. I will post the progress very soon.

Our first project

Hello everyone,

Our first project is based on the name of this group Interpretations. It is a 13 month commitment that includes a front and back cover and 12 themed inside pages.

Each month the artists will create 2 of the items, one they keep for their own book of interpretations and the other they swap with an assigned partner. At the end of the 13 months each artist has their own book and a second book of assorted works from each of the other participating artists. That equals 2 complete books for each artist.

Our first month (December 31st 2010) is to complete both the front and back covers of the books. Each artist will keep one set for their own book and be the creator of the book covers for someone else's book.
There are many specs including sizes required for the Book covers front and back so please read more information here

As we complete each month, (and sometimes as members are working on their pages) I will post snipets and then the completed finished results for each month.

Because of the 13 month commitment to this project, we will no longer be accepting new particpants after the 15th of December. However if you would like to sign up for some of the up coming Interpretations Group challenges and swaps please do so at anytime. You will be invited to join in when ever we start something new.

Interpretations

Welcome to Interpretations Altered Book, pages and covers group .

This is an art group for artists that are interested in creating altered art pages and book covers to swap/trade with other artists.

The books and pages created in this group will be from the furthest depths of your imagination and creativity. A manuscript of your muse, from the world inside your head, a place you will take us all, a place we may even be afraid to visit and we may never return.

Books and pages will be filled with poetry and writings, journaling, imagery, texture, hidden passages, treasure, and heavily embellished. Each page in itself will be its own masterpiece, a reflection of your soul.

There will be specs to follow for size requirements as we swap pages to put together our own collections.

Each theme and book will be long and intense. Commitment will be beyond any art creation you have ever done.

Anyone is welcome to join this group, however you must be a member of Paper Digital Art and Imagesbykim in order to sign up for any of the swaps and challenges.
Any member of PDA is welcome to join this group at any time. However, please be sure to read the specs of each challenge and ask questions before signing up.

I welcome you to your Interpretation!
