Projects and instant books

Sorry i haven't posted in a while! I will start off by saying that i am really enjoying this class and am learning a lot about in design and photo shop.  I never really worked on a mac computer before so these programs were fairly new to me.  The first project we completed dealing with initials was really a cool start to the semester.  I like being creative and haven't really had a chance to do things like this is previous classes.  

The second project on instant books is also a really different idea.  I had never heard of these until we were assigned this project in class.  I wasn't sure of what these really were or how to even begin brainstorming ideas for my own.  The link Amy provided however was very helpful and i so began to write some ideas down for my own.  After a few days i came up with my idea and finished it in only a few days.  I did find some challenged with only using black and white.  I wasn't sure if my story would be as exciting or show the same meaning i wanted it to without color.  The finished product however turned out great and i do not miss the color at all.  I am very happy with what i ended up with and i feel like it has a part of me in it.
