Homework Help 24/7!

The library's closed and you need help? No problem!

Check out either of our two new services for homework help - tutor.com and Live Librarian!

Both services connect you with a live tutor or librarian to answer any question you may have in a variety of subjects. All you need is your library card and a computer!

Make Your Own YA Cover

Here's a fun idea I found on 100 Scope Notes. (Mine's on the left - not bad, huh?)

Here's how:

CREATE YOUR DEBUT YA COVER

1 – Go to “Fake Name Generator” or click http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/

The name that appears is your author name.

2 – Go to “Random Word Generator” or click http://www.websitestyle.com/parser/randomword.shtml

The word listed under “Random Verb” is your title.

3 – Go to “FlickrCC” or click http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/index.php

Type your title into the search box. The first photo that contains a person is your cover.

4 – Use Photoshop, Picnik, or similar to put it all together. Be sure to crop and/or zoom in.

5 – Post it to your site along with this text, or e-mail it to us (pplhappenings AT gmail DOT com) and we'll post it on the blog!

Have fun!
