Redefining the Little Black Book
 
Fade To Black
Design Notes
This book layout is designed to work seamlessly with Aperture, the professional photography workflow application from Apple Computer.  This design features 20 black page layouts arranged in sophisticated geometric designs.
Each page layout includes graphic elements that will fade either foreground or background photographs to solid black.  The gradient is completely flexible and can be resized, moved, and rotated using Aperture’s built-in design tools.
This book design plug-in for Aperture also includes 16 types of additional filters that Apple does not include with Aperture’s standard book designs.  These filters were developed exclusively for Silvery Stars Productions by mac:method!  Each filter can be applied to any foreground or background photo element on a page.  All of the de-saturate, Gaussian blur, and motion blur filters can be applied straight or with a black wash.  The look against the black backgrounds is truly stunning!
