Designing my photo book:

In order to create a design for my photo book I started researching photo books which have been designed on blurb. Blurb is the particular online website that I will be using to create my photo book. The site is easy to access therefore I can work on my project at home because designing my photo book will take quite a while in order to get it the way I want it to look. When considering the design on the book, I need to think about the composition, framing and placement of the photographs included. There needs to be an order as my project is a narrative so it must follow as a structure so that it makes sense.

I created a mood board of photo books which have been designed on Blurb. I wanted to research this a great deal so that I can gain inspiration from books previously created using the same tools. As displayed below, there a numerous designs including full page spreads, collages and text-image cohesion. It is really important the book is designed in a specific way so the story is told well enough so the words which are featured in the book add to the narrative and are not required to explain the meaning of the images.
