About mid-way into their video presentation, Swanson and Himes incorporate examples of the various states of my design process for photographer Jessica Hines photography book, My Brother's War. In order to demonstrate the evolution of the book 's design, they present examples - such as the positioning and sizing of the book's title, image choice and positioning of the art for the book cover, chapter headings and various font options - that I sent to Hines for her consideration before we settled on the final "look" for the book. At the time Jessica and I began to work on her project, we had never met and we live in different states. In the beginning, we communicated by phone and then I sent her jpegs and pdf's of the layouts by email. A perfect example that you can design and produce your book from anywhere, as Swanson and Himes mention in their lecture.
