The Final Project

For my final project, I decided to make a 4 by 6 inch notebook that will be saddle-stitched and the paper will be "die-cut" so that the corners will be rounded on all the pages. The inside pages will all be lined, and I'm thinking I'm going to include a few graphics on some of the pages throughout the little notebook.
The notebook can be used for anything. Taking notes, making lists, writing yourself reminders. I already have something like it, and I use it a lot to take To-Do lists, because I'm extremely forgetful, but since the pages will simply be lined, the notebook will be for anything the person using it wants.
I thought about creating a notebook that would work for both genders, but I figured girls would be more likely to use something like this, and I want to make the notebook pretty, so I'm going to give the book a girly cover.

Here are my thumbnails:

And my rough drafts:

All of the pages inside the cover will be 8" by 6" to make a final product that is 4" by 6" when folded. All pages will include a 0.125" bleed and a 0.25" margin on all sides.

Here are a few photos of my dummy:

To print 500 of these it would cost me about $506. To save money, I did not include graphics on the inside pages, making them only have grey lines to write on.

Here are my final prints! I made two versions of the notebook, but I only turned in the notebook on the left for my final project grade.
