This started as a simple album for family photos, so I decided to complicate it by creating a case as well. Then I decided to complicate the case by integrating it with the album, and ended up with several pages of measurements, sketches and glue blobs. The end result fit neatly together, with plenty of room for the album to expand with photos and open comfortably on a table. I got to play with the laser cutter at Pagoda down the road to create the nameplate on the spine, and am now packing it up to be shipped to its home in Oregon.
