I want my book to have a more grunge aesthetic, but not to the point of being messy. I am thinking of using matte rather than glossy pages to help achieve this feel, using paper with a matte finish will also work well with the images within the book; as they are all very textured with added visual noise.

I am currently thinking of using a 10×8 in (25x20cm) size book, which is a standard landscape size. although I will include vertically orientated images in the book as well. I will most likely crop some images to make them square. I am also thinking of using an image wrap hardcover for the book.

As the book is about how fashion changes how a person can be viewed or treated, I am thinking of titling the book ‘prejudice’. However I am also considering other options, one of which is a less serious title: “Inside I’m crying, but outside I’m playing the Kazoo”.

The structure of the book will be a story told in pictures, but in reverse. A story which when simplified is about a man who gets attacked on the street, but he ends up being persecuted and punished due to wearing the more ‘thug’ looking clothes. It is not intended to be a realistic story, but more to send a message. So the book will start with him being persecuted, and end with him moments before being attacked.

The layout of the book will consist of two configurations; either each double-page spread will contain two full size images, or an image on one page and text on the other.

I will end the book with a conclusion of the story at the end, along with my essay.
