After our in-class critique of a print out version I decided to change all of my images to a RGB version of greyscale which, when printed, will give a purplish tint to the photos.  I then chose a purple that matched for the text that was not white.  I switched the font to one easier to read and decided to remove all of the punctuation (exept commas) and switched captial "I"s to lower case ones to make it feel more like they were my thoughts and not something that had to be grammatically correct.

Next I started placing pages on inDesign and making grids for my images.  After playing around with dimensions and formats I found a general layout with variations I liked to use as a system throughout my book.  I wanted some pages to have bands of white on the top and bottom and some with bands through the image itself.  I also placed the text in the general location I thought they would go.  After seeing all the text I realized I had too much so I cut a lot of it out so the focus could be more on the images.

Then I put all of my images in photoshop and turned them all to greyscale.  I also played with the levels and gave them higher contrast.

After I had my narrative written down I took pictures of all the things I interacted with in the morning, specifically the things I talked about or referred to in my writing.

Daily Routine Narrative: Morning Routine

I'm awake, new day, comfy, warm, sleepy

what time is it? 10:27, wow, i slept a long time, I don't like sleeping in too long, it's wasting day time

I sleep in this late when I go to bed at one

I need to get up

*stretch*

Hi Po, my boyfriend Donovan gave him to me for my 22nd birthday 

Po is a giant stuffed panda, he takes up a corner of my bed

I like to pet him

why am I still tired?

I need to buy my school books today,  I'll leave early

the door creaks open slightly and it scares me, like my alarm scares me, i'm so glad I don't have to use my alarm on monday and wednesdays, 

My cat must have come in

yep, I feel my cat jump on my bed, he's standing on my leg

he must be cold

*hug my pillow*

reach over for my Bible, turn on the light, I read a chapter every morning, pray for a good day

Isaiah 54, thats a good one,

relax

no rush, like my last school schedule, I love my new school schedule

*get up*

don't disturb the cat

shower time, put the towel close to the shower so i don't have to drip on the floor getting it,

I'll use my shower gel Donovan bought me for Christmas, then he'll tell me I smell good, I like it when he tells me I smell good

what should I wear today?  Who am i going to see today?  

Haven't worn this shirt in a while, which pants go with this?  What pants will keep me warm enough?  I want to wear those jeans but they're too long to wear with my puma shoes

I have to wear my puma shoes, I don't want to, but I have to be comfy, don't wear heels or you will regret it walking to school, walking down that big hill

I'll put my hair up first though, its all wet, better dry it or I'll be cold soon, i'm always so cold it's annoying

blow dry my hair, does this fry my hair?  It will dry more later, put it up so it will be curly, wheres my clip?  My favorite clip

ok get dressed

I need to see, blurry vision is annoying, contacts are annoying but at least I can see, 

put in contacts first then mascara or it will smudge

mascara, I don't like makeup, mascara is pretty though

what earrings shall I wear?

gold to match the buttons on my sweater

It's raining outside better wear my ski jacket, it has a hood, it will keep me warmer too
