I was happy with them and decided to pick it back up back in May and decided to give myself a timeline of doing one a day between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Works out to be exactly 99 days. I'm at about 60 or so right now, so I'm still a bit out.

I think come Labor Day I'm going to take a step back and see what I want to do with the whole thing. A lot of people are saying a book, but I think I need to figure out some sort of additional element to it besides just an image on each page. I don't think I'll have the dough to publish it the way I'd like to.

This post is the most words that have ever been posted in this thread.

Thanks, Frank. It was a fun project, definitely. Me and my friend have been extremely lucky to be able to work on 2 of these kinds of projects. Last year's was on a much larger scale... 512 pages/hardcover. But this one was a lotta fun being much smaller scale / quicker turn around time (about a month and a half to collect / organize / design all the sections while coordinating with 11 design professors ).

If you're (or anyone else) is interested, they're free this year and I could send one for the cost of shipping... drop me a PM if ya want.
