WWII Graphic Arts Project Help!!!

[grinch]

Hey guys,
I'm in graphic arts class in highschool right now, and we are currently working on a project. The theme of the project is to make a short 12 paged book, using the techniques we learn. I want to make a book dedicated to the infantry named Easy Company from WWII.
I wanted to give profiles on all the men, or most of them. I've seen ones when it shows all these papers layed on a table, with that old paper, and some pictures and object laying there. I think you know what I'm talking about?
I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or some sites that help me to work off of. I need to really see how other people do it, so I can manupulate it myself.

I'm currently using FireWorks and PS for this project.

Any help would be extremely greatly appreciated. Thanks!

go to www.imageafter.com and under textures type "paper" and you'll find some paper that you can fool around with in photoshop.
