Assignment 10: book project

Your assignment is create a two page spread for your portfolio book. You can use a photography theme (using only your own photos), or a graphics theme with design elements you create in PhotoShop (not third party clipart!), or a mix of the two.

Select a site that does publishing on demand (where you can upload a book and order a single copy of it if you wish). Some potential sites: lulu or mypublisher. You will need to register with them, and navigate through their website to select a book size and upload your pages.

In this thread, you will submit:

Part 1: A link to the publishing site you selected, the size book you selected, and a price for what a book would cost if you ordered one through them. (You may have to decide on page length.)

Part 2: a jpg of the two page spread.

Part 3 will not be submitted to the thread - you will have to call me over to show that your pages are uploaded to the site.

------------
Objectives:

• Learning how to prepare a professional looking portfolio book that you can bring to job interviews or enclose with college applications.
  
• Developing and applying layout skills to make two pages with different content have a consistent style.

------------
Grading Rubric:

Part 1: 1 point - researching price quotes for the book.
Part 2: up to 5 points for quality of graphics and a consistent layout style. Think about orphans, widows, white space, readable fonts, image resolution (which you will run into when you try to upload images), and the overall look.
Part 3: After posting in the thread, call me over so I can see your pages are uploaded to the publishing site. There is no grade for this portion, but it is a required element of the assignment, so you will not receive ANY credit until this portion is complete.
