Have you ever wanted to make your own book before? I remember when I was little that’s all I used to do! One summer I probably wrote between 20 and 30 short stories. Mind you, I was only 8 or 9, so they weren’t very prolific. I had a great time writing them though, even if they were professional quality.
So, where is this all going?
Well, for my Digital Imaging photography course, we were required to either make a book or a website to display our work. I chose to make a book using the website, Blurb. It’s a great website that gives you a variety of different book-making options. You can design at a basic level using Bookify or even start from scratch and design your own template using In Design! This allows for even more creating possibilities. I decided to make my book using In Design. It’s basically a book that compares my work from The Leader and the work of professional photo-journalists. I couldn’t be more pleased with the final result.
For those of you who were young writers like me, Blurb is a perfect way to get you started once again.
Blurb’s website states, “We put our minds together, and developed a creative publishing service simple and smart enough to make anyone an author – every blogger, cook, photographer, parent, traveler, poet, pet owner, marketer, everyone. (This means you.)”
You can even purchase your own book! Binding, hard-cover and all. How can you go wrong? Try making your own book and see where your creativity takes you!
