For our project on Japanese style binding , I had actually created an entire book with pictures on Napa Valley but then I loved the pictures so much that I wanted to use them for my final book so last minute i decided to change it to a book on My Visit to Niagara Falls. I had all my pictures taken but some of the pictures were not high in resolution so I was using some pictures from the internet. When i was half way into the designing of the book I felt a little weird about putting up pictures of my family and I didn’t know if we were allowed to use our own pictures because we were asked to get pictures online so then I just used pictures from the internet but i still kept the Niagara Falls as my theme. I am very emotional when it comes to pictures thats why I didn’t want to use my own. For the cover , I had bought this beautiful cover thick paper for my book on wine and thats why I had picked green but then used it for the Niagara falls photobook. I think when i get back my book from Prof Sheehan I will probably undo the book and then use another cover because I would love to keep my book for the future.

At first the binding of the book felt difficult but then I got the trick after trying it on two things before I stitched my photo book but I personally would have preferred to do a saddle stitch in the book with a top cover because I like the stitching to be hidden.
