Alright, for this one you are welcome to get some help from AI.
Where can you use AI?
>to summarize the plot of your book if it were set in modern times or the future.
>to make individual graphics for your design. See below for examples.
Where can’t you use AI?
>do not use AI to make the ENTIRE project at once. I want you to use your Photoshop skills to build individual layers of images and texts.
The setup:
- Draw a title of a classic literature book
from the hat.from this list. - Ask AI to summarize the book as if it were set in 2025 or the future. Feel free to ask other details in your prompt.
- Read the summary so you understand the story.
- Download this book cover template. Open it as a layer in Photoshop.
- Build a book cover in Photoshop that makes this classic story modern and current.
Cover requirements:
1. Your design should include a front cover, spine and back cover.
2. Your design should have AT LEAST four different images that are blended using selections and layer masks.
3. Front cover:
-title with appropriate font
-title images
-author’s name
-something like “#1 Bestseller” or “a classic book reborn”
4. Spine – title and author name. Rotate the text.
5. Back cover:
-summary of the book (you can copy/paste your AI summary)
-clear, readable text. Clear means that the font and color are easy to read.
-a barcode
-the price

I drew The Old Man and The Sea as my book.
Here’s what AI gave me for a summary for my prompt “Give me a short summary of The Old Man and The Sea as if it were set in space.”:
Then I asked for images:
The final cover:
