Squaring up

This is my work in progress and final design shots for my lyrics book using the pixelated or 'squaring up' process. First I had to find a photo on the internet that I wanted to use, turn it black and white, and print it off in the size 8x11cm. Then once I had printed it out, every 1mm all the way around the sides I made a mark and then joined them up to form a grid. I then labelled the squares 1-22 along the top and bottom, and 1-16 along the sides. This is what it looked like.

I then had to draw the grid out in my sketchbook but instead of marking it with 1mm gaps, I did 1cm, so that it was bigger in my book. With a pencil I then shaded in each square corresponding to the colour of the square on the picture. If on the picture it was half black and half white, I would shade it grey, or anywhere in the middle. This is my final design.
