Here is a link to my photobook: Changing Landscapes

After experimenting with many different layout designs, above is the final design of my photo-book for this project which I will be using as one of my final outcomes. After researching the work of Robert Adams and Gerry Johnasson’s work (both of which explored social landscapes) I decided to stick to a rather simple and basic design in a similar way to theirs. As my overall project is very visual and I wanted the focus of the book to be on the images, I decided not to add text or captions as this would distract away from the images telling the story which I wanted to communicate. For my title I used the font Courier New as this was a very simple and structured style of text which followed the theme of my book well. The photographs which I used included a range from three of my main shoots (La Collette Shoot 2, Trading Estates Shoot 3 and also my final shoot where I decided to re visit the Trading Estates at night). I decided to use a black and white image as a double page spread for the cover of my book, I think this image was very simple yet effective at communicating the style of my work and what type of photographs the book is going to be based around and consist of. It also allowed me to add a title and my name in, due to the blank white space in the top right hand corner of the image. The general design for the layout of the images inside was: two-images, single images and a double page spread. I tried to follow this pattern throughout giving an equal spread of these layout styles which would then be broken up every few pages by a double page spread, this also enhanced the bold visual style of my outcome. As my images included a range of colour and black and white outcomes, I also had to try to break these up evenly throughout the book so that it displayed a range of my outcomes. The double page spreads consist of three colour images and three black and white images, I also tried to co-ordinate the two images per page by using either two colour or two black and white images which would then be broken up on the next page or so by a different style (black and white or colour). Overall, I am pleased with the outcome of my Photo-book for this project as I think it has been a successful way to display a wide range of my outcomes from the different shoots and areas which I have explored.
