RGB and CMYK - big deal apparently!
I got my book back today:
It is more obvious on the tortoise page:
The people at DPI said it would be okay, but I was a bit like 'No, this is for my Final Major Project it has to be perfect' Soooooooo I've got to sort my drawings out.
What the problem was I did my drawings in photoshop under RGB colour format, but the indesign file was in CMYK format.
So I've gotta sort them out and send them off again..
It all looked good until I got to the pages with the big images on it...
As you can faintly see here, there is a book around the image

Front and back covers
I finished the rabbit drawing, but I still didn't really like the back page. I thought I'd leave it for a week and go crack on with my research.
Here is how it was:
I've come back to it, and I realised its the font that I don't like. I didn't think it should be the same as the inside text.

So is how my front and back cover look now:
I've now sent my book off to DPI, how exciting!

In the end I didn't really like the layout of my Courting page, so I made some changes!

DPI
I've been asking my friends if they've knew of any good printing places in Bournemouth, and quite a couple of people said about this place 'Design Print Internet'. They actually were one of the top searches on Google, so I had already looked at their website.
Today I emailed them to see if I could book an appointment, and they said I could come by this afternoon.
They showed me the different types of paper I could have my book printed on, I've chose to have it matt finish.
It's only going to cost me £20 and I'll get two copies, so I thought that was pretty good!
Now all I need to do is finish my book and send it off to them!
