Editors Note
This book was completed for GDES291: Design Technology 3. It serves as a representation of the skills I have both acquired and fine-tuned over the course of the Fall 2008 semester and I am pleased with the final outcome (pending of course I am successful in its binding). The InDesign document itself, which will be burned to a CD for safekeeping, is a showcase of my learning. Hardwork has gone into understanding each of the tedious, but important, aspects of publication design and hopefully my final delieverables present my understanding of master pages, auto pagination, text threading, using images, process colors, character and paragraph styles, the baseline grid, proper tabs, fraction formatting, and prepping a job for printing. Ive enjoyed this project and am excited to experience the tangible object.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep." Scott Adams
