    In continuing my goal of getting my gocco projects posted, I wanted to share my programs.  This time I can't take credit for the whole design of the cover.  I bought a print from OrangeBeautiful on Supermarkethq and used that as the inspiration for the cover.  

    The front is gocco'd, and the interior layout is inspired by several I've seen here on the Bee.  The books are bound by sewing down the middle, with the twine tied around for decoration.  The engagement pictures are from our photographer, Samantha Warren, of Samantha Warrent Weddings.  And everything besides the cover is designed by me in Illustrator and printed on my Canon Pixma printer.  Let me know what you think!

    @danadelphia--Yes, that was the original inspiration for the story!  It's been so long since I've done it that I totally forgot where it came from!

    @jmquintanilla:  I designed everything in illustrator.  I used a lot of the same elements that I had in my save-the-dates, invitations, and other paper products.

    I like it, my only constructive criticism would be that the page shown in the 5th picture you posted (the one inspired by the invite Danadelphia posted), the black squares are a little on the heavy side visually. Maybe do them in a lighter gray, or as boxes rather than blocks (i.e. hollow, not filled in). They kind of distract from the text, IMO.

    I love the whole thing though, great concept and great delivery!

    Wow.  Just wow.  If I were a guest I would think those were printed professionally!  I love the vellum and font, I used both for my programs too!  (WB inspiration, LOL!)
