Week 10, re-cap

The caffeine habit didn't last long because Monday night I went to bed and didn't fall asleep. I would rather work a little slower then feel exhausted, so no more coffee for me. This week was crazy, but good. I had an aggressive to-do list and tackled it all. I also shot my first wedding. I was so nervous, but it ended up going great. The pictures look awesome, and I had so much fun. My body took a beating though. I carried 2 bodies and both were pretty heavy, but it was a great workout. :)

Website
Still taking a backseat to the book. I didn't do much at all to it this week. I am still trying to play with the code to keep learning, but this week was over before I got anywhere.

Book
Finally, I am bringing the pages, grid, and system together and it is starting to actually look nice.  I still have 2 sections to layout but I gave up doing that this week because I needed a visual boost. The layout of type and image placement is general and boring and I needed to see some of the details figured out to motivate me to keep going. I'm still messing around with the binding mock ups. I tried this transfer technique that worked out OK. I made a mess, but for my first try it wasn't bad. I typed up a strip of text on my typewriter, scanned it, then printed it out. I then took the print and glued it face down on my book cover. When it dried, I took a wet towel and got off all the paper leaving the words. A pic is below... it's kind of a mess, but taught me a lot about how to do it.

Life
Still don't have one. Work, school and freelance are crazy. But, busy is good.

Food
We made up a new meal this week and it rocked my world. Butternut squash ravioli sauteed in onions, brussel sprouts, olive oil, a little butter, oregano, and almonds. So good!

The type transfer. Still some paper left on, and I rubbed a little type off. Oops.

Ya, if you notice in the back I was drinking red wine and OJ at the same time. Nasty, I know.
