Posting Your Book of Designs

Post images of each page in your book, and the cover design.

For EACH page, write answers to these questions:

• What is the object of EMPHASIS in the design?
• How does the design relate to your THEME?

Post up to three photos of the completed book to show how the images were organized. Photos should use a "backdrop" of white, or black. Photos should be in focus, clear and composed well.

Here are some examples: http://icodesigns.blogspot.com/2016/03/book-pages.html
