process of creating page layout:

Evaluation:

Overall, I believe that this project was successful. I enjoyed the process of staging and taking my photos and have learnt a lot along the way. I have found that I have become even more confident behind the camera and have a greater understanding of the selection process of making a book, and the amount of time it needs to design the layout of each page. One stage I particularly enjoyed was creating a narrative with all of my images and placing them near or next to correlating images which allows them to flow more easily. I think I have stuck to my artist references well and kept within the theme of nostalgia. Nostalgia is a very personal theme which can be interpreted in many different ways in which I decided to focus on femininity and youth culture and it is shown throughout the book.

I did struggle in light room slightly as my images were in folders instead of collections which didn’t allow me to produce my book in light room. However I managed to overcome this issue when designing my book by re-editing a selection of images within collections and moving some folders around.
