Jeannine's Book Sketch III.

I've changed my book size to square, 8.5x8.5, perfect binding/paperback.


This is a new cover I've created, but I honestly don't think I'll use it. This was practice to see if I could find and edit a better font. (For some reason, blogger isn't enabling this picture to be viewed at full view, but the font looks much better enlarged. The letters are composed of small, yet spaced, dots.)


As far as other photo edits go, I've been extremely ill lately and haven't spent a good amount of time to crop and color correct each photo. I randomly selected some pictures to edit, so here are a few POSSIBLE pages from the book.



I literally have over 1,000 photographs in this series, so wish me luck narrowing the lot of them down to 35 images MINIMUM.

In my opinion these pictures work better than the previous ones you posted (although those were nice too). The vibrancy of the colors has a lot of feeling with in them. Maybe on the cover you could spell out 'transport' with the same type of lights that are in your pictures. Just a thought. Hope you are feeling better.

Wow this is looking really good. The colors look amazing and the compositions are really nice. Keep it up.

Jeannine, these images are great. A little suggestion for narrowing your images down: look for the ones that give you the feeling of music playing. A couple of the ones you have up here don't have that even though they look amazing.
If I'm not mistaking you mentioned music in your statement, right???
Good job

Jeannine,

1,000 pics? Thats awesome. You have a great eye and I know that you will pick the best 30 for your series. You know that we are here to help judge the best ones. So far, you are on track and the pics are very interesting

What they said! LOL

This is coming along great. I'm loving the colors, the composition, the electric feel.

Good luck with the narrowing down. I know how tough it is, I'm in the same boat. I sit here with paper and pen, clicking through them in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, writing down the image numbers as I see ones that inspire me. Fun, fun.

It's going to be beautiful.
