Sessions will be held on Friday and Saturday, from 9:30am-12:30pm and 9:30am-5:30pm respectively.

Reverse the conventional process of designing your book cover: instead of creating a cover for a story, you will create a story from a cover. This workshop is targeted at professional creatives who want to explore the boundaries between written and visual storytelling.
