The work is part of the student assignment completed for the first project in the Graphic Design for Point of Purchase course taught by Gary R. DiPalma, assistant professor of graphic design, this semester. Students were assigned two books by Graham Greene "The Quiet American" and "The Third Man" and were asked to design hardcover book jackets for a new edition of each. They also designed a point-of-purchase poster promoting the new editions. The images on display show the front covers and spines of the book jackets. Participating students are Barbara A. Andreassen, Montoursville; Megan E. Cobb, Wyalusing; Amanda L. Eisner, Harrisburg; Noah B. Hennig, Catawissa; Benjamin D. Kennerly, Plymouth Meeting; Jennifer L. Reeder, Williamsport; Ashten E.
