By a strange coincidence, this is an assignment I've unwittingly been practicing for the last however many years.

Here's what I came up with.

(The printed version doesn't have those JPEG artifacts, or in fact any artifacts; I did it in Illustrator, so it's all vectors.)

Here is a PDF of the finished product, in what's known as "designer spreads" (meaning you see the pages in the order in which you would read them in the finished product).

If you'd like to print your own, here is a version with the pages arranged for printing as a 2-up saddle-stitched booklet (technically this is known as "imposition"). You can print it yourself (if you don't have a duplexing printer it's a bit of a faff), or if you were to take that file to your local Staples or whatever-Kinko's-is-called-now or what have you, they should know what to do with it. For an effect similar to the ones I printed for the course, you want the cover done on 110lb white cover stock and the interior on either 24lb (standard weight copier/printer) or 26lb (slightly heavier, for a "premium" feel) white paper. Don't let the Staples guy upsell you to 28lb, it's too thick and the booklet doesn't fold completely flat.

ATTN Peter Eng, who asked me about it in the original Instinct thread: You can go ahead and link to this version or the original "academic paper" version if you like - I never got a clarification about The Historian's stance on previous online "publication", but since it appears the journal does not publish submissions from undergraduates, the point is somewhat moot.
