Finding Your Face
So if you are wondering where Paulo has been for the past month or so, well I have been working hard on cranking this yearbook out. It’s been a great experience - challenging at times but great. I guess what I enjoy personally was feeling we had created something which reinvents how we look at yearbooks. It’s always nice to be original.
Enjoy this preview of The American School of Kuwait’s 2008-2009 Yearbook. The total publication is actually 220 pages long but was shortened for easier viewing.
The cover is a hard cover with a duplicate dust jacket. The title is embossed on both and the school name is embossed and stamped in silver. The cover raps around the bind continuing the cityscape mosaic but also includes a silver stamp of the school emblem center back.
This book was directed by me, Paulo Valenza and Patrick Cauley. 2 classes, 33 students both from the middle school and the high school collaboratively working together.

By the way, really glad I found this Calameo site. It’s works just like YouTube but for publications. It’s the only site I could find that would do a flip book for free. Very nice!
ColorSplash App for the iPhone
So check out this great app for the iPhone called ColorSplash. I’ve seen it in the store for quite some time now as a best seller but only got around to checking it out now.
As one who knows his way around Photoshop, I gotta admit - I think selecting and altering color just might be easier on the iPhone. This of course is all because of the wonderful touch screen. Simply toggle between what you want gray or color and use your finger to color! You can zoom in as close as you’d like to get the fine details.
If you are unaware, there are many rumors out there about Apples new product, a touchscreen tablet. Well ColorScheme makes me real excited about the potential of product.

a change for the better
After much frustration and continual runarounds, I have decided to make the switch from Apple’s iWeb to WordPress. I am confident for the size of my website, this will be a good move in the long run. I am still working out how to get all of my old content back up on the web but hope it will be integrated soon.
I still believe in iWeb and think it is an amazing tool that Apple has created. For a simple page it is the way to go. Once you start adding pages of content however, it is a very risky investment as I have found out. After the last update to 3.0 I found many problems with publishing and spent hours trying to figure out how to get my content back up. Well, I’m now ready to move on.
Thanks for all your patients and hope you enjoy the new layout.
