Inspiration
-What did an illuminated manuscript typically look like?
This manuscript uses gold instead of silver. The decorations surrounding the text are tree branches or vines as well as pictures of people, that are probably involved in the text itself.
This one is interesting because the text is not all in one place, the author separates it into four different parts.
I liked the look of the letter with pictures inside of it, I also like the idea of starting off text with one large and intricate letter.
I loved the swirly designs on the edges of this one, maybe use the same type of lines in mine?
Again for this one I liked the designs on the outside, I'm thinking of incorporating some of the same designs into my project?
