Bad Design (Unrepentant)

Well, it's pretty elementary - don't place photos so they're running into the gutter. But the Red Queen seems so reckless in her flight - so I yielded to the impulse to break the rules. On many of the right hand pages, I used various pieces of fabric and some paper ephemera as frames. My intent was to increase a certain feeling of claustrophobia that I associate with Victorian society. This section of the book was about the many self-professed authorities advising Alice.

The Tweedle brothers are twins, so they are mirror images of each other, thus the mirror writing on this spread.

Well, that's a little glimpse of my book. It's a little under 80 pages long, mostly pictures but with an essay in sections and some quotes from the two books.
