The cover may be a combination of media, as long as they are professionally used and the composition is carefully considered. Complete criteria1 & 2 by the in-progress deadline, and use feedback received at the in-progress deadline to complete criteria 3-9. When finished, please grade yourself and include this rubric with your finished cover design: RATINGS:
