Students in 7th grade graphic arts went to Hachette Book Group the publishing group for Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. They publish books like “The Twilight Saga” and “This is What Happy Looks Like”. We met with the Creative Director, David Caplan, and Art Directors, Patti Ann Harris and Liz Casal, and Phil Caminiti who gave us a behind the scenes look at what is involved with designing book covers. We also created our own version of a book cover for “Mr. Tiger Goes Wild”. Overall it was a wonderful experience. Thank you Little, Brown Books for Young Readers!
