research on podcast on illuminated manuscript.
INSPIRATION
i like how the letter takes up the whole page and is wrapped around the text. this is how i want mine to be. not sure if i will add a border on mine if i do it this way because the letter is sort of a border. maybe i will add some floraly border around it...

this one is more simple i guess.. it is into columns. i don't want mine to be in columns but i like the design thingy at the top. i am not going to that. this one just gives me a more general idea of what it actually is. maybe for a smaller idea if i wanted to go simpler... and i like the color orange as the letter. definitely will be using that
