To finish our project we needed to print our final images and frame them like we did in year 12. We could choose as many images as we wanted and we had the choice between A3, A4 and the smallest A5. I personally chose to print images from my latest project “not so cholo” project plus two images I printed last year. I chose four images in A3 because they were in landscape format, I thought they would look better enlarged to see the details and decided to print my portraits in A4. After printing, we needed to frame them. In the framing part we also had different options for framing. These are the results of my impressions.
Overall I am very happy with the outcome of my photobook. I feel my photobook represents the theme of identity and community well.

Within my photobook I used a few different designs however keeping the same designs consistent throughout. I used different layouts throughout to make it more interesting and avoid repeating the same design too much. It took a lot of experimenting with different images to see what worked well together and what looked better as a full bleed image compared to a smaller image. I am very happy with the outcome and layout of my book as I feel it is not repetitive but also not over complicated. At the end I created a polaroid page of all the images within my book and more. I wanted to do this as polaroids are a old way of taking images and my book is all based off old childhood images. I also felt it wrapped up my book nicely and was like a flash black like the book was a flash back of my childhood.
