My book will be about mental health and the narrative will show how mental illnesses can make you feel and affect your everyday life. The narrative of my story shows a lot of repetition to show how everyday feels the same however you just feel different and experience different emotions.
narrative; 3 words; health, wellbeing, feelings
Sentence; Story about how mental health affects someone’s life
Paragraph; My story shows how have a mental illness can make you feel on an everyday basis and how it affects your lifestyle. I did this through editing my images and making them more conceptual exploring different feelings that come along with having a mental illness. I used the studio and a natural home environment to try get both achieve the best outcomes and make my editing better.
Design; I want my book to have a simple look with a hard cover with just one main colour most likely black. Im not going to add any text in my book apart from my essay and I want my book to have a variety of colour and black and white images, which is how I’ve edited my images. I’m going to use the same type of paper throughout my book with no different textures. I want the format of my book to include both portraiture and landscape images to have a variety of different formats that create nice contrasts , all pages being A4 with a maximum of 40 pages. I want my book to be a hard cover and the binding to be an image wrap as a dust jacket usually gets ruined. I want the cover to be a card graphic cover. I want the title of my book to be relevant and intriguing making sure it goes with my topic- mental health. I include many different editing designs throughout my book and repeat a few of the same editing designs as well as some images to create the idea of everyday feeling the same but dealing with different emotions. The image sizes throughout my book are a variety of different sizes, I used small templates, full zooms where one image takes up a whole page and a few double bleeds where one image takes up two full pages. I also include some images that have a small template on one page and one small square image right next to it to create a nice contrast. I have chosen my images to have a specific sequences where the images either link together or have a good juxtaposition and contrast between to ideas. I repeat some of my images to give the idea of everyday feeling the same but with different emotions. My essay is completely linked with my images as my essay is about how photographers use photography to represent mental health and different ways to illustrate it through processes such as editing.
