I love intro pages almost as much as I love title pages.
This page does two things:
First, it summarizes stuff that happened in our lives that year.
I added a couple paragraphs about us to capture things that may not get their own layout later in the book.
Second, it adds a bit of pop culture and news to put the year in context.
The design from this page is totally lifted from this layout. I printed directly on the page with my Epson R2000 printer, leaving spaces for pictures that I glued on later.
Most of the pictures are news and pop culture related. They cover things like the Olympics, the presidential election, the iPod, and other fun & serious stuff.
