Project Evaluation

PROS This project was one of my most enjoyable, yet challenging since being at uni! Of course we were all met with the obstacle of a pandemic, but despite this I’m pleased with how the work turned out! I felt a lot of the shoots were rushed and not by best work, but I cameContinue reading “Project Evaluation”

Final Book Evaluation

I wanted to design a book from the very start of my project, as this isn’t something I’ve really done before (I usually just choose a selection of images to print). I thought it would be interesting to take on a new challenge for my very last uni project, and as I started to developContinue reading “Final Book Evaluation”

The Final Edit: EVERYDAY EVERY DAY

This is the final edit of my book, ‘Everyday Every day’! I’m extremely pleased with how it’s turned out after feeling a lot of pressure and a certain lack of inspiration during lockdown. I chose to include 50 days of lockdown as I had enough images and I wanted a substantial sized book and documentContinue reading “The Final Edit: EVERYDAY EVERY DAY”

InDesign Experimentation: Rethinking The Text

After experimenting with the Luke Saxon idea, I started to feel like the images were working well by themselves. Although I want this to be a sort of diary/journal, I think it actually works better without the text. As a photographic piece, I don’t think the images need to be displayed with the text; IContinue reading “InDesign Experimentation: Rethinking The Text”

Book Layout Ideas: Luke Saxon Inspiration

When I was looking at Luke Saxon’s work earlier on in my project, I spoke a little about his side to side edits that I’d found on his Instagram profile. I love the way this looks; the satisfying colour pairings and the often humorous outcomes. I definitely have a lot of images that work wellContinue reading “Book Layout Ideas: Luke Saxon Inspiration”

Continued Diary Entries: Lockdown Week 7 (4th May 2020 – 10th May 2020)

Monday 4th May – LOCKDOWN DAY 42: It’s my housemate, Jenita’s birthday today. My other housemate and I made her a sushi birthday cake and we celebrated by making Mexican food and drinking a little too much tequila! It’s a shame we couldn’t go anywhere but it’s been a good day nonetheless! Tuesday 5th MayContinue reading “Continued Diary Entries: Lockdown Week 7 (4th May 2020 – 10th May 2020)”

Continued Diary Entries: Lockdown Week 6 (28th April – 3rd May 2020)

Tuesday 28th April – LOCKDOWN DAY 36: I cleaned the whole house today, which feels like a massive weight off my shoulders. It’s been hard for me to focus with all Wednesday 29th April – LOCKDOWN DAY 37: Today we went to the supermarket again today. We went early so that it wasn’t too busy.Continue reading “Continued Diary Entries: Lockdown Week 6 (28th April – 3rd May 2020)”

InDesign Experimentation: Colours and Fonts

The next step to creating my book, is to design the pages. I went with the off-white colour for the pages because I feel this is most appropriate for a diary/journal style book and compliments my photos nicely. To start with, I’ve just been trying lots of different layouts of images and styles of fontsContinue reading “InDesign Experimentation: Colours and Fonts”

InDesign Experimentation: Front/Back Cover

TITLE: For the title of my book, I have decided on ‘EVERYDAY EVERY DAY’. I think the repetition of the words looks interesting on the page and makes the viewer think. It also clearly expresses what I want to say. The ‘everyday’ of course refers to the subject of the photographs and ‘every day’ impliesContinue reading “InDesign Experimentation: Front/Back Cover”

Quotes to Include in the Book

I want to give the reader a short introduction into what my book is about, but I don’t want to make it too obvious. I think a quote is a really good way to do this. It will imply the ideas behind my photos without giving away everything completely. I want to sort of leaveContinue reading “Quotes to Include in the Book”
