Photobook

1st book draft 

photobook

photobook 2

When creating the photo book I tried to keep the same layout and font type as my first book as much as possible so that it’s easier to compare them both and to emphasize the fact that this book is part 2 of my first one. I also included facts about chronic back pain as I did in my first book but with the Portuguese working culture. I have chosen to mix the photographs of my dad at work with the ones of him at home rather than keep them separate because I think that it shows ‘flashbacks’ of my dads past working life and it closes the bridge between the differences. I think the inclusion of both coloured and black and white photographs works well and increases the diversity.   I have made less important photographs such as objects smaller and key images larger or full bleed to show their importance. For my front cover I am planning to have a photograph of my dads back and write the title ‘ Domestic 2’  on it, like my mums to emphasize that although he is not currently working to a certain extent he is still a domestic because he has taken up my mums traditional role of doing house hold chores. Through out the book there is constancy of stripes although this was not intentional I think it revels more about my dad and his personality/likes.  Although I am not finished I need to add more photographs to my book I think that it coming together well.
