Narrative: What is your story?

• 3 words: colour is important
• A sentence: show how colour makes the world more beautiful
• A paragraph: my story is to show how colour is important in a world which is becoming more grey and dull by creating colourful images to show the beauty and highlight the importance of it.

Design:

• How you want your book to look and feel: I want my book to look like a real hardback book with smoothness for the cover and also a bit of weight to it as you are holding a real book.
• Paper and Ink: I want my book to use Premium Lustre as it is good quality paper and also it is Lustre which mean it is a bit glossy and will give the images a shaper and brighter colours which is perfect for my book especially as it is about colour As my images are taken at night black paper would work well with the photo and overall theme.
• Format, size and orientation: For my photo book want it to be Standard A4 as it is the perfect size for my book because I don’t feel like it needs to be an overly big book, and for a small book the images won’t look as good and have the same emphasis if they were tiny. I also decided on portrait for the orientation as it is good for my portrait photos and for my landscape photos can be placed on a double page spread so they fit both pages.
• Binding and cover: For the cover I want to have an image wrap which goes across both sides with my name and the book title on the spine so you can tell what the book is if it is on a bookshelf.
• Title: I came up with the title ‘The importance of colour’ as I want the reader see how important colour is when they see my book and ‘the importance of colour’ really sums my project up.
• Design and layout: for my photos I want them to be laid out as an image per side or to emphasise images have them as either a double page spread or one image per whole page.
• Editing and sequencing: For the sequencing there is no specific sequence however I would like to have my images together which I can group such as all the images of the trees with the coloured lights on them together and have all the green and purple images together rather than some being at the start and some at the middle of the book, also images which are taken at the same/similar locations can be together.
• Images and text: For the images I want them to be really colourful as my book is about colour For the text I want to include a quote on the first page to give context to the photos. For the essay I want to use white text as it will contrast nicely with the black pages and have some words in colour if I am mentioning colour as my book is about colour and it will look nice make it look more interesting and engaging to the reader.
