Describe in detail what your book will be about in terms of narrative, concept and design.  Produce a mood-board of design ideas and consider the following:

Narrative: What is your story?
Describe in:3 words:  romanticism surrealism sublime 

A paragraph: I belive it would be possible to show a written objective within my photobook  using the following: poems, of past stories and experiences that are deemed to have a relation to the sublime experience. I belive this would be interesting as the sublime is a concept which cannot be experienced through writing, it is something with is seen through subjectivity of the seeing eye and something no one else will ever have the capability of knowing. So the fact of me trying to share this concept is hard to put into thought, so using text perhaps might influence the images in a positive manner. How do you describe a feeling? much of my work is formed off the basis of romanticism, love and the sublime, the subjectivity of love is a feeling which cannot be explained, so the linking of language is the meaning derived from what someone is seeing, however the connection is still impossible to describe the experience itself.

possible titles: I decided it would be interesting if I had a sense of correlation between my essay I have written and the title, Also doing so enables myself to have more of a conceptual and contextual title, that creates a sense of question and answer within the narrative of the book. The titles I have pulled are from the beginning of my essay, they either have an opened ended question, or have an inspired concept to that of the imagery within the book itself, e.g linked to water, girls, emotion, the sublime, the titles are .An instance of instances, The evolution of essentialism, sirens, universal immersion of creative minds, traditions of antiquity, sentiment and sentimentality. These to my mind have the capability of transcending rational thought and creating a subjective internal narrative to the book within the context of the images.

The basis of my photobook : The starting point for my development was one of a few factors, the first being the sublime, the second surrealism, and the third being romanticism. This was then further categories into emotions of , pain, love, anguish, exoticism, fear, dependency and fate. All of these are derived from consequences of an action and purpled by an emotion. I have read and seen many philosophers talk about how individual subject topics such as this are such an interesting concept as there is no correct correlation between an image and the words themself. .Because of this I could have taken this project many routes. It started off as emotions reacting to an environment, then a reaction to the sublime, then water, and now it has formed almost a combination of all of these elements in order to create  a-subjective narrative and representative of a story of a powerful relationship of women to their environments and based off the inspiration of real and interpretative stories. This could be seen in more of  a mythical theme or perhaps to some people the images and stories which could be viewed as sublime. It is such a unique and off brand scenario for a book to be, but because I wanted all the images to be surreal they all hold their own  personal stories, so their stories should be shown within the text.

Design: Consider the following, How you want your book to look and feel:I want my book to feel as though you are about to uncover a secret. I want the cover t be hard but also thinking about a possible fabric like cover of softness, in order to create a unique style which systematically creates an interest for people. I what it to look rich, All the images are developed in an conceptual manner of deliberation in order to show surrealism, and each image to be able hold their own story, because of this it must look as through everything within holds importance.

• Paper and ink: Due to my images because focused on the surreal, I believe it would be the most suiting to have glossy paper in order to exaggerate the dramatic colour scheme complimented by the complex composition to some of the pieces
• Format, size and orientation:I want my book to be slightly larger as I feel as though the pieces would have the most impact in the larger format, I also belive this would help benefit the use of the glossy paper too. Due to my combination of portraiture and landscapes I decided I would do a square book, as I belive a direct orientation to either landscape or portraiture would not be the best suiting option.
• Binding and cover:I am currently between two options for my front cover, with creating a wrap around with a hard cover of a very surreal image, or either creating a hard cover with a softer fabric over cover with a symbol that I belive would suite the book, similarly to ‘ the Earth is just a little spec of dust under our feet’ . Perhaps a mermaid would be suiting such as the conceptual cover of a unicorn for the book i studied as it would pursue both options.
• Title : My title originally was going to be surrounding that of the more mythological side, so considering that the title was going to be called ‘sirens’. However after doing research into two books they have much more interesting and more profound titles that give an in-depth question o the book itself. SO because of this factor I believe I will call my book: The listed names of ideas is as following: An instance of instances.The evolution of essentialism, sirens, universal immersion of creative minds, traditions of antiquity, sentiment and sentimentality, 
• Structure and architecture: The structure of my book will focus primarily on that of an overall topic narrative, and not showing a chronological or perhaps inspired story. I have decided this due to my images being focused more on surreal aspects.
• Design and layout; For my design I want a variation between how the pages are displays, I want to show my images in the format most complimentary to them, this will be over double spread pages, complimenting images next to each-other, and shown in a way which creates a interesting composition to the narrative concept of the book itself. I believe a main priority for me is to make sure not all my most successful images are at the beginning but spread put throughout the book itself. This is also a large part of the editing and sequencing of the images.
