The book has images

I’ve been creating line drawings today and inserting them into the book. I did the drawings in my notebook (thats a paper notebook) then took photos of them right next to the window for natural light. A quick edit in iPhoto – crop, saturation to zero to take away colour, then boost exposure to max. The result was quite good with the background ending up pure white.
I continue to be impressed with LaTeX which did a grand job of floating them in the text at the specified scale. Nice. It’s amazing how images bring a book to life and how they can convey complex ideas in a simple way. It’ll be interesting to see how the group feeds back on them.
Word count so far: approx. 6,300.
I’m impressed to see the images! I look forward to seeing some printed examples at our next Accountability Meet, I too was thinking about using hand-drawn images (at least for the first passes) and then photographing. Great minds etc
