Going into project one I had no idea what this class would really be about, but I guess that is the case with most classes. Needless to say that I was confused as to where the first project was going when we started it. I had done previous figure ground reversal projects before in past classes, but never any involving letters. I think my previous projects actually kind of confused me when starting project one. Once I started to understand what the requirements of the project were, I began to do more proof letters faster.

I believe the hardest part about this project came next after the first 36 proofs were created. Deciding which two I wanted two use in my book. It was hard enough picking six of them to go into the group critique. It's hard as a designer not to show any bias to all your work. It is so easy for one to fall into the mindset of everything I do is "perfect". This however is simply not true. If you actually plan to learn anything from a college experience it is imperative that this does not happen. Thankfully... We have other people in the class that can help you decide which ones work the best and which ones only sort of work. Once my six were picked, and we critiqued them I was more than happy with the decision of the group.

Once the the two best images were selected I thought it was very easy to put the whole book together. I had little to no problems fallowing the instructions and stitching the book together. I will say that I struggled recalling the printing instructions, but that will be learned once again. Overall I was pleased with the final result of the project, and I was excited to see how the book looked stitched together rather then stapled. I thought it does make the book look a lot more professional than stapling it.
