Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By producing this book of photography, I will improve my editing skills. I will also develop design skills by working with a graphic designer on book layout. I will evaluate this by the skills I learn in the process of producing my book. 2: By marketing and promoting my book, I will develop business skills that will help me with my work in the future. I will be able to evaluate this outcome, through how successful I have been in marketing and promoting my book.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Through the process of creating the book of photography I have learned a great deal about book design, editing and publishing. It has been an amazing experience to work on a project for so long and now see the work realized in book form. 2: As the book is still in the process of final edit, I have not yet had the chance to market and promote the work. However during the process of producing the book, I have worked within a very tight budget and have found ways to get high quality results by creative solutions. As an example to stretch the budget, I have traded prints for services rendered. I have also developed working relationships with Minneapolis vendors that will carry into the future.
