Project 1 (for real this time): Photo cover notebook.

1. I had to print this on special photo canvas, but it took me a long time because for some reason, you can't print in gimp. I finally figured out how to print actual size in Word. I can make a tutorial if anyone want one, it really saved me. Sorry I don't know the original location of this photo. I even plugged it into Tineye, but I couldn't find anything. It's a picture of Iceland, and I've decided that I really want to go there. 

2. They wanted you to have photos printed on standard photo paper. I guess this is because they wanted it to be super precise. That one on the right looks really bad, but I promise it's just an optical illusion.

2. This was such a pain. I had to cut all the papers 5" x 7". This would have been soo much easier if I had a peper cutter, but I had to hand cut all of them. In the end I had a stack 1.2 cm tall. That doesn't seem like much, but it took me 2 days to cut them all. They didn't even turn out that even. I used old school papers, because I felt bad using so much new printer paper.


3. After glueing the stack to the spine and letting it dry over night, viola. A book! Its so cute! Kind of wonky, but cute!

Honestly, I'm not sure I would use it that much, because I don't have use for random note books.
