I am not sure yet, but I will use typography that is really neat and easy to see.
For the name of the muscle I will make typography thicker.
5. Style – describe (verbally or visually) the style of your book.
my style of book is like a card that anyone can read or play with.
I made the book looks like a colouring book.

6. Handmade techniques – describe any handmade components you will be using

Next, I will colour on the pictures.

7. Binding – What type of binding do you intend to use? Why? How will you do it?
For binding  I was thinking to make a case for this book but I changed to make it looks like a book cover.

Kinda changed my plan again - RR

Yeah, I did.
But not completely, I mean same idea, but it's not scrapbooky, (yes, now you can love it:)

ok so
the book is gonna be like a closet
I already bought this pre-made wooden box thing that should work,
and I'm going to photograph my real closet, and the doors are gonna be the cover and they will open in the middle.  inside the box it will be kinda like my real closet with things hanging and a mirror inside and stuff

and the things hanging will be photographs of all of the vintage clothes
...that's pretty much my description of the binding.
and the colour theme will be brown. wood-coloured, you know.

Oh and no fonts.
I'll hand-write whatever text I need

I want the rest to be a surprise but that doesn't really work so remember all that stuff I told you I wanted to do when I was talking to you after school? yeah, it's gonna be like that.

Oh and for the budget it cost 12$ to get stuff printed, 1.50 for the box thing and I lost my glue gun so I had to buy one of those ):
so technically it came to like 20$, which is almost 25$ which is how much I was gonna spend. Win!

Oh and the printing is kinda speckley and grainy which I think is kinda b.s Kinkos failed me ):
oh and the paper has some weird cloth texture, which is totally not my fault.

M.L SUMMATIVE NEW PLAN


Okay, so I changed my whole plan for the book. No journal stuff, not illustrations that look like other people’s illustrations. I was walking in the mall today when a couple of us encountered an awkward moment. We laughed about it for awhile after and then the idea popped into my head that I could make an awkward book about universally awkward moments. So basically, I’m collecting 15-20 situations that people find awkward. I’m not using a font, it’s going to be handwritten, not aligned well, slanted if that’s the way it’s written.. the illustrations to go with it are going to be pen drawn and simplistic. In other words, it’s going to be awkward. Lots of white space like an awkward silence. It sounds like this would take little effort, but let me tell you, making something appear awkward is extremely aggravating. I’m making this book basically for everyone to relate to. This suits my skills and interests as my artistic aesthetic is simplistic and this will be very simple. For example, the front cover of the book is just going to say “awkward” in a small font.
