Saira introduced me to an app that let me add artistic effects to my drawings. I was able to make some adjustments directly on my iPhone. Below is what my cover looked like after the effects I chose. I am so proud of it!
It was also time to start moving my story and pictures to some book form. That took us to the computer and learning more software. As a first draft, before going into full publishing and production, Saira suggested we use an online bookmaking company. She taught me the basics and then it was up to me to design the layout, enter my story, and add my illustrations. Thank goodness for all the technology and cool tools we have available to us, we were able to do it without all the work that books used to take by hand in the past. I was getting so close to seeing the end product, I was thrilled with this part of the process, especially now that the drawing part was done!
