PROCEDURE

STEP 01
A Book Jacket is the cover of traditionally published books comprising the front cover, back cover and spine. Two examples are given below ⬇️

STEP 02
The dimensions of each part are given below: (can be altered for HQ but must follow the same aspect ratio!)
FRONT & BACK COVER : 1024 × 1600 px
THE SPINE : 250 × 1600 px
(the 3 parts are to be uploaded as separate files)

STEP 03
Please check your Google Drive folders where I've uploaded the summary of this story for easier incorporation of the blurb text on the back cover. Keep in mind about what you have to switch in the final design:
[ MC ] → your character name entered for this competition.

STEP 04
You have to CHOOSE an issue that has been dividing our society for centuries. Remember to tell me your choice through an in-line comment in the designated space near the end! No repetitions of choices are allowed to avoid clashes and to keep things creative & unique ^^

STEP 05
No print bleeds are needed to be taken into consideration for this design.

FOOTNOTES ━━━━━━━

1. Creativity will again play a key role in this design.

2. The design can be entirely text-based. If you're going for a model/obj as the main element, remember that the element should have a 50-50 OR 60-40 space with the text to still count in the obj/typo based style.

3. You have to choose any ONE issue to highlight. It can be any (but not limited to) of these →

4. Whichever issue you choose to portray must follow "Wattpad Guidelines" and shouldn't highlight any person or a group of people in a bad light.

5. Extensions can be asked in exchange for Horcruxes only on/before 29th July 2024.

THE BLURB/SUMMARY

[MC], a Forkston High School senior, has been deemed the most "Potentially Problematic" student ever. Everyone tries to stay away from her, teachers included for if anything goes wrong, [MC] doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut.

Following in her father's footsteps, the late Mayor of Forkston, [MC] wishes to make the world a better place. However, as the mystery of her past unfolds and horrific truths come to light, [MC] must figure out whether it's time to be quiet, or it is time to gather her friends and fight for what she believes is right.

"Because society doesn't make us, we make the society."
