Title Page for Zodiac’s Book
As our time with Zodiac comes to a close, I’ve been wanted to get started on his puppyhood book. I have a template so many of the design decisions are already made. Beside speeding up the process of completing each book the template gives a continuity to the series. Today I picked a font (Hobo Std) and two accent colors (blueish green and yellow). The colors might get changed as the book comes together but they are a good start. I also picked out 19 “Z” words to describe Zodiac. Finding “Z” words was a challenge but I did it.
- zaftig – full-bodied; well-proportioned
- zany – comically wild or eccentric
- zap – strike suddenly and forcefully
- zax – a hatchetlike tool for roofing slate
- zealous – ardently active, devoted, diligent
- zeek out – (slang) to lose control of oneself
- zenith – highest point or state, culmination
- zephyr – thing of fine, light quality
- zero hour – a decisive or critical time
- zesty – energetic; active
- Zeus – supreme deity of the ancient Greeks
- zigzag – a course with sharp turns
- zillion – an extremely large number
- zingy – full of zing; lively; zesty; exciting
- Zion – where the pure in heart dwell
- zippy – full of energy; lively; peppy
- zoic – relating to or having animal life
- zonked – exhausted or asleep
- zoom – to move quickly or suddenly
The next steps are to work on the text for each word and find and/or take more photos to help illustrate all the “Z” words. Zenith will be used to talk about Zodiac’s partnership, hopefully as a guide dog, so that one will have to wait. Also zero hour will be about putting him on the puppy truck so I can’t do that one either. But I hope to have the rest of the pages done by the time he returns to Guide Dogs for the Blind. Then I can put it on to a cd and it will be given to his handler while they are in training. It is lots of fun for them to learn about how their dog was growing up in the raisers home.
Zodiac will probably be in the truck in 8 to 10 weeks. With 19 words to do I better get at least two spreads done each week. So that is my goal. I’ll post them here on pupdate day to help me be accountable for that goal. Since I’ve already do so much this week, I work to getting one spread done for Friday.
Do you have a project with an upcoming deadline that you are working on? I’d love to hear about it.
