Here are some links for you books that will be your FINAL assignment and portfolio.
http://www.blurb.com/ Blurb is and interesting company with the option to self publish and sell your work after you create a book the pricing is good. The books can be completed using their own software to design or you can design your pages outside and place completed pages.
http://www.lulu.com/ Similar to Blurb for self publishing and selling. Photos can be added by Simply loading them from your computer into The Lulu Studio™ and, by dragging and dropping, arrange them and rearrange them until they’re in just the right order and position. Looks like a book is $25 for a twenty page book. This company uses an on-line software and does not requite a you to download or install software.
http://www.shutterfly.com/ I have used this company and the turn around time was good and the quality was OK. On-line design software similar to LULU.
http://www.mypublisher.com/ Here is another company that will print your book. Several students have used this company over the last couple years. Looks a little more expensive that the other companies.
All these books can be printed for about $25+.
You should spend some time creating a test book with each of these companies and review their pricing and sizes and production time. You can create the book and not publish or print so you can share it or review it.
Your book can be a theme or break it up into sections to feature different shoots.
The minimum is 20 pages for this assignment.
Here is a 12×12 book that I am making for the Warrensburg Tigers Basketball Team
