I decided to display my work in a book, as I wanted to create something that has meaning to my overall concept. I made is as a scrapbook for a persons holiday to Jersey and Thailand to express the theme of journeys and how tourism is important to both destinations.
-The first step was collecting all 24 of my prints.
-Next I trimmed them all, to get rid of the white borders, to make them feel like authentic photos printed out after a holiday.
-I arranged them in an order, looking at colour combinations and which ones worked well together, either by contrast or similarity.
-I measured them to make them as straight and central as possible.
-After I had placed them correctly, I used masking tape to stick down opposite corners. I chose to use tape instead of spray glue as I felt it looked more like a real scrapbook, rather than just a book of photos.
-To finish I added ‘Jersey 2019’ and ‘Thailand 2019’, again to add that sense of authenticity to it.
