Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in the United States and always falls the day after Thanksgiving, that is today. I'll be heading to the mall with a friend, not because I enjoy the shopping or the crowds, but it's become a sort of tradition. In observance of this interesting American phenomenon, I have come up with another extra special release of products coming to the store today.
1. The Project 2011 WorkShop | This class has been developed around a series of 11 lessons which featured on my blog during the summer. The aim of the Project is to document those precious and enduring memories of particular seasons, occasions or events by exploring and applying various methods of telling stories and enhancing them with photos and art.
The lessons have been reformatted and augmented, and now include the BONUS AnnaNews content to produce a consolidated sequence of tutorials. The individual lessons are packaged together with coordinating templates to create a cohesive, 20-page photo book or album.
The following components and individual lessons (.pdf format) are included in the workshop:
- Introduction and Preparation. A free component which provides an overview of the workshop which follows.
- Lesson 1 Six Word Stories. Create a title page using 6 words.
- Lesson 2 Quoted. Use quotes and the spoken words of others.
- Lesson 3 QuoteBlendz and Lists. Explore the use of QuoteBlendz and lists.
- Lesson 4 Deep and Beyond. Learn to dig deeper and widen the scope of your stories.
- Lesson 5 Say What You Feel. Select the most fitting words.
- Lesson 6 Repeat Outside the Box. Use repetition and move beyond double-page spreads.
- Lesson 7 Creative Stories within Stories. Present your stories more creatively.
- Lesson 8 Past and Present. Combine stories from the present with those from your past.
- Lesson 9 A Question of Perspective. Tell stories from different perspectives.
- Lesson 10 Comparison of Perspectives. Compare stories from different perspectives.
- Lesson 11 One Word Conclusion. Create a concluding page with one word.
- A Shutterfly Ready Photo Book Cover Template. Design the cover for your photo book or album.
A collection of 5-12 X 24 double page Add-on Templates are also available enabling you to extend your album or photo book from 20 to 30 pages. Each lesson may be purchased individually or as a complete bundle. The photo book cover is included as a complimentary BONUS with the Project 2011 Add-On Template Pack and the complete Project 2011 WorkShop.
