Thanks for the offer but I'm a bit confused. Why would there be pictures in someones journal? While it would be a very nice touch wouldn't that be somewhat emmersion breaking?

Well, like others have already pointed out. Keep the entire 24 pages, as long as you do not force the player to read it. If it's just for flavor, like TES game readables. It's all gravy, man.

It's your call but the pictures would represent the player's imagination as they read the journal. So it would be a 3rd person experience of sorts... But so are expository cut scenes...
