make a coffee table book

So I’m back from my travels and have been collecting lots of quotes, pictures and thoughts.

I’m deciding what kind of book I will put together. I may write a travel diary style book, and do a more abstract style coffee table book as well, but I think the idea I’m most keen on at the moment is a scrapbook style coffee tabel book which is a chronological account of my trip peppered with ideas, images, anecdotes and quotes. Largely a personal memento/ gift for family and friends who are interested, but if it comes out well I might make a couple of copies to try and sell to see if others find it interesting.

I’m debating starting this again. My old coffee table book was very … ‘highschool-ish’ i guess you could say. I want a more sophisticated book so I’m going to start all over again. Sigh.

This is still in progress, I’m just waiting for some super epic pictures!

my best friend created her own coffee table book using pictures from her wedding that she uploaded to snapfish.com and arranged herself. it looks amazing.

This looks like it might be a good way to go…

I think I’d like to make a book when I’m back from my travels. A combination of my photos and my favourite quotes ( from another goal) and some bits of philosophy.

Kind of like a ‘what I found out’ book that I can reflect on.

Yay! Excited about this project.

I think I’m going to ease off of this for awhile. This project is fairly easy, but I want to be putting pictures in that actually mean something rather then just random ones. I’ll wait until some more epic pictures come along to put them in!!

6/10 pages done. 4 more left!

2/10 pages done:D

I started it. The first page is just a collage of random stuff, and then the second is a picture from Brian’s cabin. It’s not so much a coffee book table, probably more of a scrapbook sort of thing / just random-ness. But hey, at least it will be entertaining to look through, and that’s all that counts!

I don’t really know how I’m going to do this, but I’m just going to put random stuff together. I think it’s almost going to kind of be a scrap book more or less but for the coffee tabel! I also bought reloadable pages so when Melody and I move out together she can add her own pages! haha.
