I have experimented with different picture story layouts  and designs, with the photographs I took of my dad. My main focus was trying to transmit the story through a few photographs.  I experimented with different photographs to find a combination which worked well together. I made more traditional photo stories by keeping the photographs straight and keeping the symmetry, similar to the ones by Eugene Smith. I tried to use a variety of different photographs such as detailed shots, portraits and environmental photographs to get a broader range. I also experimented with different backgrounds, I think the black background made the picture story look more professional however I think the white background works best. Although my first picture story is all in colour I chose to keep the photograph of my dad with his medication in black and white to emphasize that it’s the negative part of his life which is holding him back.
