Thats what had to be done... and this is what ive created for my partner... and sent...!

Cover :)

To make this, I basically got A record card divider with the letter B for Belfast! Covered it with brown parcel paper to begin with. The binding was the last thing i did :)

I collected all of my imagery and things of belfast before i worked on the layouts. That photo is one i took in my first year of photography. It was a long black and white exposure of a ferris wheel shot on 35mm.

The vinyl letters are american crafts and behind the b is punched out wrapping paper :)
