Digital version of my final book layout here

In the layout for my book i combined all my material from my archival old diary with my new photographs of the dens both at night and during the day. My book didn’t have a specific consistent layout in the order and arrangement of the photographs as i though this would make it more interesting. It did however have all the photographs of the same den in the section of the book together. Each section of photographs of dens are then separated by diary entries and the slow shutter speed images that i took.

I decided for the front cover to have a wrap image across the front and back cover of my favourite night time image. This worked well as it then allowed the title on the front cover to stand out well. I decided to call the book “Do you want to play a game?” as i thought it created a sinister atmosphere to the book. The whole book is about playing games as children in which we made a home in the environment and therefore i think this works well in inviting the reader to consider what the structures are made for more closely.

Below is the entire layout of my book. I included images from all of my different shoots to create a variety of images rather then simply having all the same type of image. The suggestion of people works really well throughout the book as it adds another element and really highlights the lack of people within the den pictures themselves.
