Look at all the old copies of Menagerie to see what has been done before. Remember your design is for a book of poetry and prose, therefore literary. Also, students from all conference schools are included, so think broadly. (You wouldn't put a falcon on the cover, in other words).

The must haves:

• Menagerie: All Conference Writers
• the year
• pen and ink, preferred
• black and white
