page 4-5 of book



I took an inordinate amount of time on this book! Sure I could have kept it simpler,but it is actually a lot simpler than what I had conjured up in my mind, and I let go of some of my ideas in the interest of time... but I also wanted to really get the hang of some of the basic tools. Suddenly switching to In Design when I was just getting the hang of photoshop, through me off, but with gracious help from my profs I made it through this last project! The one thing I would have liked to do is put a drop shadow on all the images and put photo corners on them to give it more of a scrap-book look, and keep all the page colors uniform...but in the end I decided to just let the background color be something that worked with the individual photos, and I did one set of photo corners and called it good enough as far as "knowing how", and I had already learned how to do drop shadows and used it with one of the images...so the lesson to my perfectionist now is: ENOUGH! time to move onto your photojournalism paper! That is also why I have let go the idea of reposting everything so it would show up in proper order on my blog.
