How you want your book to look and feel:

Paper and ink: I will be using standard 80# paper and coloured ink for my photobook, I think that the coloured ink is important for the images because it helps provide a clear distinction between high and low tide, it also helps the vibrancy for the water.

Format, size and orientation: The photobook will be a square, 7in x 7in.

Binding: I am going to use a soft cover for my photobook because I want to create a feeling of movement throughout.

Title: I have chosen the literal title, ‘Tidal Movements’

Design and layout: I am planning to use a variety of image sizes throughout my photo book. The majority of the photobook pages will have single images, however, I am wanting to have some breaks to make it visually more interesting, therefore some pages will have grids of four images, or I will have some pages with two images to a page. I am also planning to have a double-page spread of a panorama. I am not planning to have any foldouts or inserts.

Editing and sequencing: I have chosen images that I feel flow throughout the photo book, the images I have chosen I feel create movement and therefore suggest a flow throughout the photo book.

Images and text: The text that I am using within my book is to show where the photographs have been taken, and whether the image is showing the low or high tide.
