Assignment for Wednesday, July 2nd!

It is time to start organizing our thoughts on the Book Project.

In Photoshop/Illustrator or InDesign, create three sketch pages that are the dimensions of your book. If you haven't already, visit your LULU account and decide on a size of book that they offer. You can choose other sizes, but it will be more money. You should me making decisions about the font you plan to use, the colors of the font and any accent colors, or whether there will be any words at all.

We have 6 weeks from this critique to work on this book before it is sent to print. It is time to focus gang!

I am very excited to see what all you come up with! Your blogs look excellent too! Keep up the good work!


Page 1 =Book Cover
This is a sketch so do not be afraid to be experimental. This is a very important page because it is what every viewer sees first. You have to make it interesting enough for people to want to open the cover. You may do more than one Book Cover, in fact I encourage it. If you do, post them all.
Page 2= Introduction/Artist Statement
Again, this is a sketch/rough draft. You may put an image here--you may not. I am also aware that some of you may not choose to put this kind of information in your book at all. If you do, it may not live on the second page--maybe on the back cover. That is FINE. I still want you to have that practice, formulate those words, and organize verbally the direction of your book, in order to get your grade for this week. (This is NOT a Word Document. it must be created in one of the image making programs.)
Page 3= First Image Page
Work hard to formulate an interesting layout for your first page. Most of you do not have a final image proof for that first page, so use a mock photo that is relevant to your idea. Again, You may create more than one, and if you do, post them all or your top three choices.
