We just got Dan and Lindsay’s guest book back and it is gorgeous!! I tried some different styles with this book…First I used patterns as overlays to giver the backgound of the pages some added depth and second I resurrected my drawing skills and inserted sketches as part of the illustration. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but jusdging from the results I think I’ll be doing more of this.
I did the sketches with my Wacom digitzing tablet, basically a pad that I draw on that has about a bazillion layers of sensativity. This duplicates the pressure sensativity of regular drawing media. Anyway here is the book, shown in 2 page spreads, the one above is the cover.
The photos were taken in the Fall of ‘06 in Stillwater, MN and June ‘07 at Applewwod Golf course also in Stillwater.
I also just completed a Podcast of the 2 sessions and will be updating it with wedding photos. Here is the link to it:
