How the book will develop - 2 versions and Blurb online publishing...

After a few days away from my main project due to writing reports, I have been having a think about strategies for this module and beyond, and my thoughts have focused on 2 things. 1. What can I achieve for mid January, and 2. What can I achieve for the end of the course. So my project is going to develop in a couple of ways. For mid Jan I'm going to still design, layout and have printed through Blurb a book of my project. I have started putting the pages together. A couple of months ago I started putting together some of the graphics, and developing the look of the visuals. Today I finally got around to buying some papers for a series of experiments using conventional techniques. Regarding the final version, as Tash describes 'the whistles and bells version' this will have far more use of experimental techniques, pop-up, traditional screenprint, and a mix of inks, and papers.
