恐怖短篇小说封面
我们与文学教师克劳迪娅·帕特诺斯特（Claudia Paternoster）合作，在七年级课堂中共同完成了学生自创恐怖短篇小说的封面设计。课程中安排了大量写作教学模块：最终每位学生都独立完成了一篇原创故事。在美术课上，我们分析了图书封面、电影海报以及恐怖类型作品普遍采用的视觉特征。我们观察到此类作品多使用深色与冷色，强调明暗对比，并常借助逆光营造不安与神秘感。
完成上述观察后，每位学生先在A4纸上绘制自己小说封面的草图。草图中需明确画面的图形空间布局，包括故事标题与作者姓名的位置。随后，我们以该草图为蓝本，运用综合材料与拼贴手法制作封面图像。
图像完成后，我们对其进行拍摄，并在电脑上进行后期处理，精心挑选字体，并确定标题与作者名在封面上最恰当的位置。全部作品最终汇编成册，成为一本真实出版的图书，内含所有学生创作的故事及对应封面。全班共同选定的书名为《穿越恐怖之页》。
Cover of a Horror short story
In collaboration with the literature teacher Claudia Paternoster in a 7th Grade class, we created the covers of horror short stories written by the students. A large module of lessons was dedicated to the work of writing: at the end each student wrote their own story. During the art lessons we analyzed the graphic features of books, movie posters and in general of the Horror genre. We observed the prevalence of dark and cold colors, the usa of contrasting lights and shadows and the use of backlight to give a sense of restlessness and mystery to the images.
After these observations, each student prepared a sketch of their own cover on an A4 sheet. In this sketch they identified the graphic spaces of the image, including the title and author of the story. Starting from the sketch we used mixed techniques and collage to create the image of our cover.
Once the image was finished, we photographed and processed it on the computer, choosing the font and the most suitable location for the title and the author on the cover. The whole work was published and became a real book, with all the stories and covers. The title chosen by the class was “Through the the pages of terror”.
