Now I am so very proud of all that I have achieved throughout this photo project, however, the output is what determines the final look, no matter how good the photos have come out, if I produce a rubbish book layout they won't be received as well as I want them to. I'd say my main downside is I am not good at making good photo layouts because I make things too busy, wanting to show off everything i've done at once. Here I have decided to screen shot different ways of creating book layouts. to start, I decided an establishing shot was necessary. I chose one of my many landscapes for this to open the audience up to the location in which I was shooting. i have also played with merging one image over one and a half pages, this creates an eyeful look as well as a good use of space as the left over white space can be filled with text.
I've also tried to single out the shots of interiors by making them smaller with a little outside space surrounding them so they stand out as a different form of photograph. You're given a wide full page spread to immerse yourself in the location, as well as single page spreads of the family and then smaller white space surrounded interior images to make them stand out separately.
I will be having a phone call tonight to discuss the layouts with Anthony to see what works and what doesn't so I can get the ball rolling with creating the book and getting it printed as soon as possible.
