California Kid's Travel Book

I ultimately decided to do the kid's california book after seeing how people responded to it when I was conducting the surveys, I had adults say even though it was a children's book they would find it fun to follow as well. The idea was to create a book that you could take on a family road trip; it takes you down the California coast, starting in San Francisco and ending in San Diego. It includes a map, pin pointing each city they will stop in. It includes activities for kids and their families to do in a variety of cities along the way. Some activities include: Disneyland, Sea World, Monterey Youth Museum, and Universal Studios. It is more so a picture book showing them attractions at each place they go to. I really enjoyed making this book, a lot having to do with my love for California and having done something similar when I was a kid with my family. I was having some issues with the layout at first, I didn't want it to be so monotonous and the same boring thing from page to page. I think the road at the bottom of the page helps tie it all together. It ended up being easier to make the graphics on the cover along with the graphics on the bottom of the page myself instead of trying to find clip art on the internet that looked similar to each other. I wanted the kids to have some sort of interaction with the book so it didn't turn into just a flip book so each page with a place has a box at the top of the page for the kids to place a sticker after they have completed that adventure Here is a sample of my book, I have included the cover as well as one of the pages.
