Fancy book

This is an experimental publication made with content gathered on the Internet. The exercise was to transform content from the web into a pdf file. We decided to make an experiment and create a different composition in each page, changing some characters of the content for other characters: bigger and with a different font and background colour.

The following website has been used as content: http://anjagroten.com/

Page of the book I

Page of the book II

Page of the book III
