GRDSN 115: Book Project

Scenario:

You are a graphic designer assigned to make a small book of no more than 12 pages to show your ability to draw on the computer and manipulate the images. You will also be doing some printmaking to complete your book. Computer Project 1, on p. 323 of your textbook gives an example of this assignment. The idea for the book is of your own choosing. Bring old magazines, or old books of any sort for interesting images or copy. You will be adding copy as you work, paying attention to the typeface that is appropriate. Put the pages together to make an accordion style book. An expert on bookmaking will be giving you instructions on how to do this. Submit the book and the computer file(s) to your instructor.
