Franklin-Covey “Classic” 365 and EDCN Convergence
Note the difference in how each page works in the blog format. The FC365 probably reads best in a browser size where the images are sized at max 1000px wide size.
How to properly describe the condition of a typewriter.

Mail Call, and two pages of photos left to shoot!
Two more pages worth of detail photos to shoot, greyscale, annotate and place in the manuscript. The goal is to break up the pages of text with an equal number of facing illustrative photo pages, and occasionally include a few things not mentioned in the text. If nothing else, doing this is an excellent crash […]

A Mail Call and a Collage
I’ve had a surplus of clippings from the things sent to me by mail in the back pocket of the EDCN, so I decided to make a collage. Also a test of a vertical fold-out page in EDCN format.
