EVALUATION

The process of making a photobook was a new concept to me, as I had never created one before. However I found it to overall be quite straightforward, as there are templates to aid you in formatting choices. Once I had edited all my images, I selected my favourite outcomes and created a new collection set named ‘Photobook’ which allowed me to organise my images.

This template function offers numerous formats for each page. Allowing me to carefully align all the images evenly on every page. The process of making the photobook was also aided by guidance from teachers who already had previous experience with this software. They offered advice on formatting choices which allowed me to establish storyline across the entirety of the book.

Overall, I think my project has been successful in portraying my interpretation of the theme ‘Nostalgia’. I’ve created a storyline across the book. Starting with a family tree to establish the message of the book is focused on family and heritage, as well as the incorporation of archived images from my childhood. I’ve created documentation of my family across both Jersey and Madeira, creating mostly black and white images of people and landscapes as I planned. I believe the seperation between Jersey images and Madeira images has been successful in representing the divide between the dual parts of my heritage, and those seperate aspects of my identity. What could have used improvement is the amount of portraits I took of family, as that was the main focus of the project.
