I still like my idea of everyone doing a page for every topic/chapter, but if the majority goes another way, I won't cry....for long.

Tommi and Diva laid out the P L A N E T way of doing the chapters pretty well. I think that would give us a lot of leeway in terms of what each letter or topic means to us as individuals.

I also liked pure's idea of having chapters that had topics similar to that of the sketchbook project. I didn't participate in the project because I didn't want to spend the money to purchase the book, pour my heart and soul into it and then send it out into the world. I'm more possessive of my work than that would allow.

So, whether we break the chapters up into letters, numbers, hieroglyphics, or sketchbook-like topics, I'm in.

I think maybe we should consider some serious topics too, like gender and identity and silencing and acceptance. Since it's for a project for our community, I think there should be a visible tie from the book to the community.

I agree that the size should be uniform and something that's easy to do (not trapezoidal), so the 8.5x11 works for me. We should also remember to leave about an inch free from clutter and most decorative items, as it will be the section where it's bound. Now, I'm okay with it being on the left or top but I think I'll get too confused if it's on the right or bottom.
