This is the original cover of the book that I chose to redesign.
Redesigned Cover made by me:
I had a lot of fun doing this project. I learned many new things and even applied them to this as well as my other project. One of the things that got me stuck was the way I had to write the Arabic writing in the text without having to mess up the letters or rearrange them so they can make complete sense. After a lot of reading and some research, I came across a website where you can specifically write the Arabic in so it can be transferred into Photoshop without having the words in a mixed up order. I also learned how to fill in the background color of the image by using the rectangular marquee tool and just picking the space I want and filling it in with the color I want.
The reason I choose this book is because we actually had a book club in my community and this was one of the books we read as a group. We had discussions about it and it was one of the first successful book for the majority of the youth to read. It made an impact on some of their lives and helped them understand things more clearly. I myself am Muslim and this book caught my attention the first time i saw it. This book is about The Ideal Muslim in today's society and how she handles everything with grace and dignity without losing who she is as an individual. It helps her realize that everything in life happens for a reason no matter what and how she can face every obstacle head on. It was a very interesting book that I can say I relate to a lot!
