I originally wanted to design my book through Bob Books because a lady called Pascal came in and spoke to us about all the different papers and sizes of books they can create. She bought some samples of books in as well and I found the design of book that I wanted to create. You can have a maximum of 72 pages in the small landscape book that I was looking to create but at that point in time I didn't know how many pages I would need but I thought that would be plenty. Turns out it wasn't...
Because I ended up having 48 images that all needed to be on one two page spread each I needed nearly 100 pages to my book so I had to look on Bob Books to see if I could get another style of book similar to what I had originally looked at but I couldn't so I had to stat looking elsewhere. I found Blurb who I have used before and they were really good so I looked on their website and found that I could create they book that I wanted there so I carried on using Blurb.
I had to download the software that Blurb provides in order to create the photo book. Once the software had been downloaded I could start designing my book. The first steps were:
1. Choose the size of books I wanted to create (I chose Standard Landscape)
2. Choose my paper (I chose Standard Paper)
3. Choose my cover (I chose Softcover)
4. Name my book with a title
5. Create the book
6. Check the book over and send it off to be printed
Below is my final book, one thing that I realised was my mistake was that my book has no title on it which I thought it would because on the software I had to create a title for my book in order to go ahead but I had planned for my book to have no title so I'm not that disappointed but when I checked my book before I sent it off I should have realised then that my book didn't have a title.
