I put this thread in Media and Arts but I wanted to see what more people had to say soooo I decided to try nsg.
A couple weeks ago my photo teacher gave me the project of finding a book and altering it. Drawing, painting, cutting, adding stuff too, pretty much anything you want to do to the pages. Have you guys ever done this? Heres a few pages from mine.

Seems quite nifty. Do your drawings have any significance to the story?

thank you! And actually it has nothing to do with the book, the books in german and I don't understand german. For me I want the book to be really personal but you could seriously do anything you want to to the book. That's why I like this project so much I think
