Layout (26/1/2014)

* Having spent so long making the contents of the book I had actually forgotten to make a front and back page. Therefore, I decided to work on those today as seen below.



Overall, I am very pleased with them as I used a simplistic colour scheme and good text. Despite it having similarities to the font used in 'Bioshock', which I didn't want to link to in case people confused it since both are set in underwater cities. However, it was the only good text available and therefore despite the reasons stated I feel 'AR BONNIE' was a good choice.
I especially love the blue and black background as it looks very underwater esk. Despite the colours being the wrong way round since water should get darker the further down it is, I found that it didn't look as good and upset the balance of colours. Therefore, I decided to keep it in this manner. 

* I also decided during this point that I needed to make sure that I had a cover. Even if I didn't include whole pieces in my book (due to messing up page numbers and ruining the reader's imagery of characters) I still felt that the cover should have at least something. 

 
* Realising I hadn't looked online for a website that would print my book, or even how much it would cost me, I decided to look today on a couple of websites which seemed to suggest it wouldn't get dispatched in time. Therefore, I will check some local printing shops as soon as I can as I would love to make my hand in look as professional as possible.
