Photobook Update

As you can see in the post below, I've finally made a photobook of a wedding I did. I'm totally happy with the way it turned out and can't wait to get a hard copy of the book in my hands to check out. I'll probably do a video of the book when it comes in. It's full color with an image wrap cover and has 78 full color pages. It took a lot longer to make than I thought it would -- mainly because there were over 200 pics in the book, each of them being 3MB or more in size. The final size of the book was an Indesign file of 236.8MB and the output PDF totaled 720.9MB. I'm sure my computer is glad the project is finished! It was really fun to make though. Sometimes, when I work on the same project for a long time, I get tired of it. This time, although I spent maybe 30 hours on it, it was different. It was new and fresh. It was something I really wanted Jennie to like (which I believe she did). Hopefully I'll get to do a few more for couples and maybe a few for myself. They really are a great way to show off work and also a great way to hold a little bit of a past time in your hands, bringing it back to the present to relive again if just for a little while.
