This is my final photobook design, without the added essay yet. I have decided to use a pretty simple layout with my images. I have started and ended with similar images, taken of the same thing. I have made some images small on some pages to emphasise the images on the other page or if they’re on their own on a page to create a break between larger sets of images or double page spread images.
I have also used a few double page spread images along with three quarter images. These are used because these are what I saw as the most important and the best of the images I have taken within the photoshoots.
With a few of the smaller images that are opposite larger full bleed images, I have added black backgrounds to carry over the contrast between the images and give a clear definition of where one image ends, due to the sky in most of the images being very white due to the time they were taken along with contrast and exposure settings making it seem whiter.
I have also added a couple of 3D maps of small bunkers within the photobook. I have used the black background around these again so that the white of the model in the center of the screen is a lot more visible and can’t be missed.
Lastly, I have added two sections of text within the photobook to separate off the images of each bunker, the text depicts the equipment within the bunkers during The Occupation.
