Today I decided to make my own font to give something extra to my book project. I based it around the font Georgia, but to make sure I added a natural hand-made feel to it I only allowed myself one attempt at each letter. Once I had started I had to get it right, and I feel this helped it become its own style.

Beginning to design the layout of the final book to be sent off for publishing on lulu.com. Finding this process to be very useful and I have already changed a lot of my ideas. The black, red and brown colour scheme is definitely one I will be keeping.
