Overall I am satisfied with my outcomes for this project, as I feel that my photobook layout, alongside my final prints portrays the theme/ vibe that I was attempting to create. I used a good mix of representational images alongside some more abstract pieces to generate the contast. They layout of the photobook took some time to finalize as I was trying to get the images to flow between the pages so in the end I was happy with the final outcome. As for the print pieces, I went with more simplistic techniques so to compliment the simplicity of the pieces.
I am also satisfied that I met my intentions, as my images and book represent the changes that cause the constraints of islandness/ island living. I do however think that if I was to do this project again I would try to create more dramatic pieces- possibly using darker colour pallets and less of an abstract style in order to focuses on some political/ social issues rather than physical constraints.

Throughout my project I have tried to pay homage to the artists who inspired my piece such as Shiroshi Sugimoto, by making images in a similar style of basing the image around the oceans horizon as well as Stratos Kalafatis by photographing areas of a habour when they are desolate.

Althought the processes I used (photoshop, lightroom) were somewhat simple I do think that they were effective. Playing with the order of the book and the alignment of the images for the prints definitely took a while and so if I did this type of work again I would definitely employ some form of system to aid me. Overall I really liked the colour palette throughout my work which includes lots of dark blues as well as sunset colours i.e yellows & orange hues. I think I followed the intentions I set out at the beginning well, but I also added some adaptations to the work as I went on throughout the process as I was testing things out but overall I am pleased with the result.
