What is a cover page for an internship report?

First of all, what is a cover page?

"In printing, a cover page is a blank sheet, often white, added by the binder at the head of the volume, between the cover and the title page." Definition from lalanguefrancaise.com.

Why is it important to create a beautiful cover page for your internship report?

To better understand the importance of the cover page of an internship report, let’s take the example of a novel cover: often, publishers print colorful graphic elements on the cover to attract attention. If the reader is drawn in, they read the preface or check the back cover of the novel to read the summary.

This is also true for an internship report!
 

The cover of the internship report is the first element the reader sees. If this cover is attractive, the reader, examiner, or reviewer is naturally inclined to explore the report further to learn more.

It is therefore important to work on the design of the cover page of the internship report, so that it is beautiful and appealing.
