Reflections on Designing the Cover for Florence

















Reflections on Designing the Cover for Florence

Florence by Alice Childress


                                                                









                      Book Cover





After creating the cover for the play Florence by Alice Childress, you are now required to reflect on the following and put them in your respective blogs:





What was my role in the designing of the book cover?

My role was editing the picture for the book cover with the help of my friend. 


Was my opinion taken seriously by the others? Why?

Yes, I think they understand what the picture illustrated on the book cover described about. Although the illustration of book cover is not pretty enough because it was in black and white only, but I think it is just fine for me. Our lecturer commented that our group should have suitable background image for the book cover so that the title of the book cover is clearly illustrated. 


What have I learnt from this task?

I have learnt how to make a book cover and it was my first time. Chosen the pictures for the book cover is quite difficult as we need to considered what the play about. I also give chances for my group to share their opinions and ideas. Besides, I realised that I need to improve my skill in editing pictures and background to improve my presentation.

My thoughts on Drama


For this week, you are required to blog on the following:


Would I be willing to spend my money watching an excellent play/drama? Why?

Yes, I would be willing to spend watching an excellent play/ drama because I can enjoy the beauty of the drama which is acted by many excellent actors and actresses. I like drama because many of them are well played on stage and the drama is played with many nice scenes where the plot is arranged in orderly sequences. Besides, drama is the art which comes closer to everyday life. Well played drama also can give us enough satisfaction.

What do I expect from a good play?



From a good play, I expect that I can get the satisfaction as the play is well played. The play should be fills with emotion, humour and spectacular action for the audience so they enjoy the play. The characters, especially the main character should understand and feel the anxiety when acting on stage so that the character becomes alive so that the strength and the flaw of the character can be showed. The audience supposed to feel sympathy to the hero and I hope that the hero can always save the days.

Do I feel comfortable to act in a play? Why?You can entitle your post "My thoughts on Drama".



Honestly, I’m not comfortable to act in front of audience because I do have the experience before. But I think that I should give it a try.
