I decided to create my book I would not use indesign and blurb itself, but I would create my own book from scratch using book wright, also enabling myself to work on the development as much as I am able. I want to record the processes to which It has taken me in order to create my book. I originally started with creating a folder of all of my images from every single one of my shoot, the ones from the sublime and previously. This led me to choose from around 12 shoots. However I know my concept now is inspired from emotions from the dependency of water with a surreal aspect of being represented and a sublime influence. Because of this I narrowed down my shoot collection to around 7. I not only want only conceptually interesting images, but also a similarity in colour scheme to create a bettering narrative story.

I want to create an almost surreal type of book with my imagery, most of which I want to correlate with the colour. Many of my images I purposely edited in such a way that they would have a blue effect in order to have a clear connotation to that of water. Because of this I belive it creates another aspect which need to be thought out when sequencing my images. I have started off by experimenting within 5 different ways in which I can experiment within the lay out of the images, these being the following: a double page spread, 3/4 of a page, a singular image between two pages cropped or overflowing the page, two images beside each-other sequenced in the middle of the book and finally a long image next to a squared image to create an unsequenced essence of variation.

Three issues I am having to experiment with is the amount of images and pages I should include within the book itself, This is also down to the amount of photos I should have over the two pages and how many images I belive should be included within the book itself. Secondly is the issue of having images which are too similar in the book or too close to each-other. I have decided My best shoots are my 3-4 most recent ones using water, because of this a lot of the images could be considered similar. I do not want to show an element of repetition within my images as I belive this would be considered as boring. Because of this I am unsure weather I should expand and add previous less sublime images, or use the best water images and just creating a smaller book. Lastly I do not know what I am doing with the text yet. I have prepared and left spaces for poems and stories if I believe it would be the best way for me to enhance my work, however I am still unsure what the written work would be. I am planning to do a physical print off and examination of all my photos in order to see what is best and the most appropriate, however I thought it would still be beneficial to start with the development.
