I have finally finished my book. It took me some time till I made it but now I am happy I am done with it!!
So, what I have done...
First of all, I made the cover. I knew from the beginning that I want one of my images to be on the cover. I chose the one that I like the most. I tried to find a place to write my name and the name of my book/project. The only place where I thought it would look good was above her right shoulder. That ray of light made my job easier. Like I said before I chose 2 fonts so that people don't get confused when looking at my cover. Also, the font of the name of the project is more elegant and I think it goes well with the photos.The other font is more like handwriting. Done the same thing to the book spine with the same fonts.
I don't need a table of contents because I don't have more projects in the book. There is only one so that's why I made that first page with the name of the book, my name with the copyright sign. Then, I added a page with "About the project". On the right I put like a collage going down with images that I didn't use.Then, on a blank page I added like a introduction to the book, used a quotes from Yves Saint Laurent that I thought suits the images.
Then, I started to use all my photos, to arrange them in page. Like I said, I used 2 photos per set with 2-3 exceptions: for 3 sets I made like a collage, using 3 images.Some of them are on the right of the page or left, others in a full page, others in a collage. I arranged them so that they look good. There is not like a story about the photos being arranged like that.It was only like it looks good on half of a page, let's leave it there. After I finished with my photos, I went back to write the page numbers and the header. It was the same with the page numbers and header. If I thought it goes well, then I would put it there.
I didn't add any text because I thought that I don't need one. There are already a lot of images, adding text would only make the book look full. I had 2 images in landscape so those one I decided to spread them over 2 pages.
I left blank pages so that you have a time to breath before looking at the next set.
At the end, I added a page with the names of all the girls that helped me with the project and I thanked all of them for all the help.
AND that's it with my book. I can't wait to get it. I am exciteeeeed!!!!
