Photobook specification and mood board

Narrative: What is your story?
Describe in:

  • 3 words:

Comfort, adventure, nature

  • A sentence:

Follow the path of the many beautiful places which are found throughout Jersey, you’ll never know what you might find.

  • A paragraph:

Jersey holds many different pathways for you to explore. There are so many different valleys, woods, trails for you to go and see. It provides you with a sense of comfort and tranquillity as the chirping of the birds fills the air and the rushing of the water flowing by in a stream guides you throughout.


Design: Consider the following

  • How you want your book to look and feel:

Portrait, sleek, smooth.

  • Paper, ink, format, size and orientation:

Shiny paper, a small amount of text throughout which discusses the journey that the photobook takes you on when you see the various naturistic landscapes of Jersey.

  • Binding and cover:

Hard cover.

  • Title:

Unsure of title.

  • Design and layout:

To have a page which is blank every couple of pages, alternate between having a couple of black and white pictures to colour, make sure that an image of a person/animal appears every 4-5 pages to create a story.

  • Editing and sequencing:

Black and white and colour, pair most images up, leave a few for single paged images and full page spreads.

  • Text:

Have a small amount of text included to provide a story throughout the book, do not overload it, keep it short and simple.


Mood board –

This is my mood board which is compromised of images of different layouts and covers that resemble the theme of nature and weather photography as that is the theme for my photobook. I really liked full page spreads or spreads with photos that correlate together on each side but I will also incorporate single page spreads as well within my photobook for photos which work well as stand alone images.
