Narrative:
- 3 words – My families past.
- A sentence – The past of my family and memories created over the years.
- A paragraph – My book will focus on my families memories created over the years, I will do this through photographing them in similar ways to older photographs. I will also photograph old objects which hold meaning to them.
Design: Consider the following
- How you want your book to look and feel – I want my photobook to have an older look as my project is linked to memories and the past. Therefore for the cover I will use a warm toned brown to create a sepia look.
- Paper and ink – Some of my pages will be darker brown colours and some will be a lighter beige, all will be sepia tones.
- Format, size and orientation – For the size of my book I will use a standard portrait as many of my images are portrait images.
- Binding and cover – The cover of my photobook will be an older image which I have found. I will make the back cover a certain colour to suit the front cover.
- Title – For my title I will name my book ‘Remember when’, as it is all about restaging old images and reliving old memories.
- Design and layout – I will have a different layout on each page, some images taking up the whole page, others only taking up a section.
- Editing and sequencing – For my sequencing the original image will be on the left, and the new restaged image will be on the right.
- Images and text – Some of my images will be black and white, mainly the ones of objects, the portraits will mainly be coloured. It will be a mix of images I have taken as well as images from the past. The text in my book will be small and only on pages where it is relevant.
