LULU.com is ass backwards!!!
heres my rant of the day!
One of the things i've learnt about design is that the most time consuming and annoying part of the design process is dealing with the print companies and printers.
after creating a magazine and dealing with the non existant support lulu has to find there print settings it was up to lulu too print the magazine... expecting it back from lulu as a professionally printed high quality magazine i was extremely disappointed when it came back, the valleys between pages had been cropped to an extreme and the ink it was printed in was blotchy and faded.
DO NOT use lulu to create design on photo books... they are truly publishers for text books only despite them pimping themselves out as full colour publishers.

Environmental Opportunities
i took photos of urban environments and applied ways these environments could be used to advertise products and companies.
Insurance Company - The life ring could have an insurance company logo on it, as a life ring is a safety device that is used only when someone is danger similar to why insurance is used.
Stop Smoking - The white light cover could have an orange sticker placed on one side to make the light look like a cigarette, a slogan such as “Cigarettes are everywhere when your trying to quit” could be applied.
Waterside Safety - A set of arms could be placed holding onto the ladder or one hand holding a sign warning people of the dangers of swimming in reservoirs, canals and quays.
(this could be used on a buoy to make a floating arm holding a sign)
Staple Gun - This bike rack like most bike racks looks like a big staple gun staple. A message on the floor sporting a tagline such as “ Staples anything “ could be applied.
Pop up (Quickpitch) tent - A sticker of tents could be placed onto the motorized bollards so that when they pop up the tent does too.
