The origin of Pages 7 and 8

Here is my original sketch layout for pages 7 and 8 (also included below) that I gave to Chris to draw and design.

The process kind of goes like this: I take what is written and edit it down for the book. Then I sketch out each picture I want. Then after I figure out how many I like and want on the page or spread, I sketch it as a layout and add the first lines of the text for each picture before giving it to Chris. And then I email him the text with notes saying panel one, panel two.... You get the idea. Sounds boring—and it is. It's tedious work at times. But then I get to see the end result and I'm astounded.

It's amazing what a designer can do with your ideas.
