I feel like my process for the coffee table book project is coming along. I have looked at other coffee table books to get an idea about how to make them. I am excited to start using and learning In Design. I am worried about the text in the book though. I want to make sure that it is going to be interesting. I have been asking people about it and trying to get different ideas. I came across this link on eHow that talks about How to Make a Coffee Table Book.

My Coffee Table Book Progress

Book Cover
The book I chose was "Italy From Above" by Franco Zeffirelli (Preface by), Giuliano Urbani (Introduction), Antonio Attini (Photographer), Marcello Bertinetti (Photographer), Alberto Bertolazzi (Text by (Art/Photo Books). I am half Italian and the book drew my attention right away. The front cover is a picture of cathredal. All of Italy's architechture is very beautiful and I was interested in this book because all of the photos were taken from the sky. The back cover was just a simple picture with snow with no text. Just the title of the book. I like that it was simple. The title on the front has the text Italy mirrored and I think went well with the background image. All the authors/photographers names were at the bottom of the book. I thought that layout was engaging. I think it would attract readers attention.

Welcome
Welcome to my blog. My name is Nichole. I am a free lance web designer and I also work for a web design company. I am taking this prepress class to work on my design skills. I enjoy learning new things and am sort of shy but trying to come out of my shell.
