406 Studio Brief 4 - Speaking From Experience - Back Page

Back Page 

For the back page the book needs to have small summery/blurb, a short description of a book to explain it without having the audience have to read the whole book but since this done on the cover briefly the back will be a chance to explain more tat its from our personal experiences, our mistakes to help them. The back will follow the same house style of the cover and the ret of the book therefore need to include the same style typeface and size, then under nether have hand written text. This means the back sentence will need to to be spilt into two parts too, a serious and the lighthearted part.

Keep it short. Your forum blurb is a quick way to introduce yourself to the group. Blurbs always have an air of mystery and intrigue, since they're just a few words long and leave a lot to the imagination. Make it no more than a sentence long, two at the most. Here are a few examples:

• James Franco: Writer. Actor. Director.
• I'm Crystal, maker of all things sparkly.
• Hi! I'm Zombie666, and I'm ready to fight!
• Oshamaru is here to stay . . . get used to it

Say something true about the book,  You have just a few words in which to show off what makes the book defined . That means you only have room to share the most important things about the subject. Stick to the most interesting or relevant bit of information you can share.

Make it funny, weird or otherwise intriguing. The tone of your blurb, however short, is going to make people like you or think you're weird.
