Blurb Book

So, after with the anthotype project, the next project I have to take on is becoming proficient in Adobe InDesign. Not only will this help me once I go off to college for graphic design, but I have a massive assignment coming up that requires it. Myself and the advanced photography class, along with some other people are going on a trip to Italy at the end of April. It's been assigned to me to take and collect photos from the trip and turn them into a blurb book. A blurb book is basically a photo compilation in book form that you design and customize yourself. I think it's going to be a lot of fun to create but it will also be a huge challenge for me, since although I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, I have never used InDesign before. I honestly really look forward to both learning InDesign and creating the book. It's really important to me that the book comes out well because it will serve as such a great way to preserve the memories made on the trip, not only for me but also for all of the other people going on the trip. I plan to bring my big professional camera that I use to take my regular photographs for this class, and I also plan to purchase the small camera I talked about in my last post. I think having both types of cameras will allow me to not only capture pictures of the historic aspects of Italy, but also the more random and silly things that will go on throughout the trip I'm sure, since three of my best friends will be going as well. Here  are some examples of what a blurb book looks like;
