4/28

So I have my front book covers done, but I seem to be having a bit of trouble with the back covers. My guess is that they'll probably end up being very simplistic, but I'm wondering if we could put a summary on the back like a lot of other books do. I just don't want the back covers looking too plain, haha.

I finished all of my spreads today. I'm pretty happy with them, though they're a bit simplistic. Hopefully my refined pages will end up looking great. I've always been a bit bothered knowing that everyone in the class usually puts out better work than I do, haha. I'm going to make sure it's not the case this time.

Today, I played around a bit with InDesign on the design building computers. I figured I'd have a bit of trouble with it, but it's not too difficult of a program. For next class we're supposed to have 3 spreads of 4 pages done as examples (I guess?) Hopefully this will go smoothly.

I couldn't seem to find much on my original choice for a designer. Not even on the library search could I find anything about him. So instead, I decided to go with Disney. I figured that he would be a better choice anyway considering the extensive knowledge of him that you could find on the web.

Project 4 - 4/12

For this final project, it looks like we're making a book. Everyone had to choose a designer to research (mine was an illustrator). I can't find a great deal of info on my designer, so I might have to settle for another one, but we'll see.

Today I (finished) finished my box. I added a stopper and put on some polyurethane. I guess people weren't kidding when they said that glue would show up white when you put the polyurethane on...

There are a few white splotches here and there, but it's nothing too bad.

4/4

Well, I finished my box on Tuesday. It looks pretty good. I was afraid to get within a foot of the bandsaw so I needed someone to help me cut the wood, but aside from that everything went smoothly.

The only thing I didn't get around to was adding a stopper to my box. Hopefully I can put one on eventually. The only problem is I'm not sure if one could fit. The actual "box" portion of the box is about a half an inch deep only.
