Last month, I designed a board book for my son, who is seventeen months old. Since we do not live near family, I put lots of photos of his aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas, and grandpas so that he might recognize them when we do see them. It was only twenty-four pages long–a far cry from my usual projects! (It took longer to choose the photos than to lay it out.)
Alas, the quality of the printing and coating was pretty terrible, and the company has refunded my money. They did say that they’re getting new equipment soon, so I’ll try doing another book with them. I love the idea of being able to make my own books!
The first image below are the back cover, spine, and front cover, followed one of the page spreads from the inside. I used bold italic Century Schoolbook for the labels.
