I really struggled with the layout of this one for awhile. I really wanted to use the three pictures in the cap below, but I couldn't figure out a good way to integrate them all. Separating it into three panels was an option I'd considered, but the way the pics were, it just didn't work out when I tried it. I'm still undecided as to whether or not I like the way this one came out, but I gave it my best go. I hope Jeannie likes it!
Transcript: This was the start of a new beginning. The freshly minted
driver’s license in her purse read Jeannie Summers, 5’10”, 120 lbs, brown hair,
blue eyes, and a capital “F” for female. The contents of her luggage, did not
suggest otherwise, containing elegant dresses, flirty skirts, and sexy
lingerie. Just several months earlier however, Jeannie had been John, an
individual privy to the shrouded secrets of the New York Families. Needless to
say, none of the Families had responded quite kindly to his court room
testimonies and had taken it rather personally, compelling him to enter into
the most advanced Witness Protection Program the government had to offer.
Every vestige of his former life had been wiped from him
completely, including his sex, a choice that had been agonizing for him to
make. Several months later, Jeannie was complete. Seeing herself fully naked
for the first time, all the doubts and fears she’d had had evaporated
instantly. She snapped away eagerly with her camera phone to commemorate the
occasion. Her new body was absolutely breathtaking and there was not a clue left
that could betray her true nature. The advanced techniques had done a marvelous
job at reconstructing her face and figure into an ultra feminine shape and
appearance, which had been further aided by the aggressive double doses of
female hormones. It was impossible to tell that she hadn’t been born with the
ample breasts on her bosom or the sweet slit between her legs, a secret she
intended to keep.
She finished her impromptu photo shoot with a befitting
pose, facing directly into the camera with an outstretched finger placed delicately
over her lips in an expression of silence. This was her tabula rasa and she smiled as she envisioned the life that lay
before her. The world of womanhood seemed both daunting and thrilling at the
same time, but more thrilling than daunting. She was sure that scintillating and
steamy adventures involving crazy girlfriends, wild parties, and charming boys
lay in her future. She just couldn’t wait to get started.
Kendall, I think with those pictures and the story you had for it, that this is a lovely layout! It's easy to read, easy to follow along and not wonder what to read next, and makes sure that the story doesn't overpower the images themselves.
ReplyDeleteGreat cap!
Thanks Caitlyn! It seems almost strange that the layout and not the story could give me so much trouble, but I'm glad you think it worked out!
