# Which picture belongs on the cover?

Foundation Media Arts · Day 62 · optional start

**Invitation:** “What would you put first on your little magazine?”

1. Use a genuinely available own page or make a new wanted part. No earlier work is presumed.
2. Child tries two actual cover ideas, two placements of the same movable broad image, or a cover plan. Offer the ordinary labelled model only after their first choice if wanted; it is not an answer or human artist account.
3. Ask “Which one fits your magazine?” The child can choose a small clue, a full picture, both, neither or a different starting idea. Big does not mean best.
4. Make/direct the chosen cover or keep both alternatives. Say which pages actually exist; planned alternatives are not two made versions.
5. Child selects cover storage/private use. Note the visible choice and their reason/preference if offered.

**A · Two cover ideas:** Make/direct two broad own cover proposals. Choose one, both, neither or another; planned alternatives are not two made versions.

**B · One image in two places:** Use one actual own broad image and try two actual cover positions through handling or directed adult operation. Choose a placement or keep the experiment open; no placement is inherently best.

**C · Show a clue or the whole idea:** Choose how much of an own idea belongs first: one original clue, a fuller picture or a different choice. Fabricate it through any wanted route; no hidden model supplies the answer.

**Notice/next:** if the adult supplied the selection, offer one cover decision the child can actually own on an unrelated blank subject. Cover intention alone does not prove reader curiosity.
