Beth Revis Across The Universe Giveaway

Beth Revis, author of best selling novel 'Across The Universe' is hosting an awesome August Giveaway. It's a creative contest.

The idea is that you create something based on the book, whether it be a t-shirt, write a song, paint a picture etc.
The prizes are awesome and her books are too, so I couldn't resist. However I am not that creative, well I am but my problem is I can think up loads of great ideas but they never come out right.

So I decided to make the best of what I have. Working in a library has it's advantages as I have resources available to use and display boards to fill.

I am in charge of the Teen Section and I have a display board that I try to change every few weeks/once a month and it was due for a change so I thought why not do a display dedicated totally to Beth Revis.
Here is what I did:

That is the finished product! I was quite happy with how it turned out.
The board was smaller than I remembered so i couldn't get on as much as I wanted, but I created all the lettering on the computer, chose colours then printed. I then cut out each individual letter.

I downloaded a book cover and blurb and cut them out. And a picture of the author herself (you can just see it in the middle of her name).

I then searched for a picture of 'Godspeed' the Spaceship from the book and a summary of what the ship does.

I have requested 8 copies of the book so people can take it out and enjoy it. 3 have arrived as you can see on the shelves.

In what is a limited space in the library anyway it actually stands out quite nicely and I'm hoping all the copies will fly off the shelves.

So what do you think?
