This has been one of my favorite projects so far. The assignment was to document a day in my life and create a book about it. In order to make it more interesting than a typical day I decided to do something interesting and wander around in a suburb of Chicago looking for people to help out. Unfortunately, it kinda flopped and I was forced to think on my feet and make sure my book would be interesting before the day was over. I decided to start the book over towards the end (that's why the cover appears again).

I took all the photos, which involved a lot of fun with a tri-pod and a lot of patience. I also did all of the layout and wrote the book.. I did everything. There are a couple pages that just have an image across both pages. I did this in order to slow the reader down, kind of a pacing thing. They're just nice to look at too.

Like I said, I loved this project. I hope you do too!

Very cool beans. I actually really liked that the book sort of started over, something I have never seen a book do before!
