Sitka Flick Book.

As it would have been Sitka's birthday weekend, I thought I would share one of my lockdown projects. To make a flick book for Lesley of the photos I had taken of her and Sitka on Dornoch Beach in 2017.

The photos put together in a Youtube video.

Editing 45 photos for the flick book on Adobe Lightroom.

The photos were all printed on Fotospeed paper using the Qimage printing programme, including leaving a margin for the hinge. Thankfully I numbered all of them in case the got mixed up, which they did several times.

They were all sized then cut on the guillotine.

They were then covered and put in the vice to drill them for the hinge, I used a proper paper drill as a normal drill will chew the paper up.

I designed the cover and the gift card using the Adobe InDesign programme.

The Qimage printing programme set up.
