Before we had a visit from a woman named Pascal, from Bob Books publishing company. We were informed about how they work, prices and different options that you could have for your book; including paper types and sizes of books. I found this visit really helpful and was the starting point for me deciding what type of book I wanted. Originally I wanted to either have a portrait or a landscape book, but wasn't sure what would look best with the images that I was using; from this talk I then decided to not go with either of these options and instead use a square book instead. Through using a square book this would then mean that it would suit all of my images, both portrait and some which were landscape.

In the end due to the time scale that I had to complete my work and publish my book, meant that I wasn't able to go with Bob books to publish my book, instead I went with a company called Snapfish. This company were great because they could offer a faster shipping time, along with great discounts, also another thing that I liked about this company was that their site was really easy to use, and made it really simple to put my book together.

Whilst creating my book I faced a few issues, including the layout of the images, where I wanted to place the text that would accompany the images and suitable background colours. On receiving my book, I was really pleased with the way it looked, the front cover looked really professional. The only issue that I did have was that some of the images came out a lot darker in the book than they did when I was creating it on the computer, I feel that this may have had something to do with the settings that they used for their printer; now knowing this, if I was to use Snapfish again then I would make sure that I turn up the brightness on my images before printing them so that it should counteract this problem in the future.
