I finished my project. I have learned a lot of things during this process.
#1 - I can’t really do this the way I would like to without spending a lot of money on software.
#2 - I’m not as happy with my finished product as I had hoped to be.
One of the things I tend to do as a photographer is envision my finished photograph before I start shooting it so I can have a goal during the process. I had envisioned what I wanted this project to be, and my result is not entirely what I had hoped for. The good news is that during this process, I was shown some other similar ideas being done elsewhere, and I do want to try some variations on this theme that should produce more of the result I was looking for here.
The other good news is that I enjoyed this process. I’m not actually finished with this book, because I do intend to publish it as a printed hard copy. But as far as the SoFoBoMo project is concerned, this one is a wrap.
By the time this project comes around again next year, I’ll have a lot more knowledge about the design workup and what its going to take to do that part of it without breaking my bank :)
I’ll post the finished product soon….
