Here is a first version of the booklet. The pages are a low quality because: 1. I scanned them at a low dpi and 2: I didn't bundle the image files with the inDesign file I made the booklet on. Because of this I didn't take to much care cutting the book down and was using a broken guillotine, this means the pages are a little uneven. I didn't cover enough of the front cove page in black ink and so had to cut off some of the title to stop the white of the page from showing. This is easily rectifiable though by putting more ink on the original cover. I put text boxes over Herbs narration as I had made some spelling mistakes, but also wanted to change some of the wording slightly and wanted the narration to stand out a bit from the rest of the comic (Like how breaking the 4th wall always stands out in a movie). I think they may stand out too much and not fit in with the rest of the comic. I don't think it's too bad however and part of the reason is the difference in quality which will disappear when the images are printed to a higher quality. I believe slightly yellowing or greying the text boxes should solve this issue. I may resize the back cover image so that it takes up most of the page or at least expand on the ink shading over the top so that it blends into the background a bit more. I'm also playing with the idea of putting the image into the inside back cover and leaving the back cover blank maybe black.
