Book in hand: How does it feel? Smell, sniff the paper. 

The book’s cover is made of a smooth matte card surface which folds back to reveal extra photography. The texture of the paper seems to be smooth with small indentations possible to reflect the type of material she has photographed inside the book. However the back of the book’s texture resembles the wall paper photographed, being more textured and harder to run your hand across, adding interaction with the reader.

Paper and ink: Use of different paper/textures/colour or B&W or both. 

All the paper in the book seems to be thin paper, slightly thicker than your average printing paper in order to represent the type of materials photographed. Within the book however there are detached pages which provide extra information that informs the viewer of the overall intentions of the photographer, seen through yellow paper with black ink. The ink used is relatively thin and small compared to the size of the photos, consisting of only one variation of font. The further you progress into the book it does feel like the pages become slightly more textured and thicker to the touch as you pass through the three sections.

Format, size and orientation: Portraiture/landscape/square/A5, A4, A3/number of pages: 

The book itself is A4 sized, done to compliment the graphics within it which require an equal amount of neutral space to cover each page. This is complimented through her use of a portrait styled book, allowing her to capture the textures created perfectly, something that could not have been achieved through the use of a landscape book. Overall there are 167 pages to the book, with roughly 50 pages per section and the rest being informative pages, presenting consistence throughout.

Binding, soft/hard cover. Image wrap/dust jacket. Saddle stitch/swiss binding/Japanese stab-binding/leperello

The book uses a dust cover across the font of the book which is then stuck down as it reaches the back. This makes it extremely user-friendly as it prevents the buyer from possibly losing or damaging the cover of the book, stopping it from wearing in the long run.

Title: Literal of poetic/relevant or intriguing?

The title is a literal representation of the books topic, as it consists of three individual books put in order of relevance to make one. To me this is intriguing as it presents all of the images in a new light previously not seen before.

Narrative: What is story/subject matter: How is it told?

The book is based around the experimentation of layered paper and gradients, whilst using aesthetic matte colours to allow images to pop out at you. As you progress through the book the techniques used to make these collages seem to become more and more advanced, showing the artists improvement over time.

Structure and architecture: The design/repeating motifs/specific features developing a concept or constructive narrative

The imagery inside the book tends to be based around the same subjects, paper. This is consistent throughout the book in different variations, however much of the pages have a double-sided plain matte backdrop to separate images and topics.

Design and layout: Image size on pages/single page, double-spread/images/grid, fold- outs/inserts:

Each photo is A4 within the book, with no double page or alternative styled pages. This adds a sort of consistency throughout the book which can be viewed equally, with the only other use of page design being the implementation of loose information sheets.

Editing and sequencing: Selection of images/juxtaposition of photographs/editing process:

The images inside the book seem to have been edited using software such as Photoshop and Lightroom. This enhances the matte colours in each photo massively as it presents a contrast not seen by the camera. As a result of this it produced more abstract and conceptual type photography as the colours used seem to out there to be real.

Images and text: Are they linked? Introduction/essay/statement by artists or others. Use of captions (If any).

The text inside the book mainly is about the style of photography she uses, and her biography, read through on the loose pieces of paper throughout the pages. There is no introduction to the book which instead head straight into the first topic, the same goes towards the tags which are also absent in the book.
