Page development 1

Developing from the beginning use on the software, I have added some photographs under the nature theme with wording, as I have thought about the wording for the nature category first. Adding the photographs in colour has been interesting, experimenting with what photographs look aesthetically good together and which link to the story line development. Some photographs under the culture theme have been added, though no wording. Portraiture photographs of individuals representing various cultures have been taken on location. Suggested by my mentor, portraiture photographs in a photography studio should also be added for aesthetic continuity - having the same backdrop. I have come to the conclusion to balance this out - 2 portraiture photographs on location and 2 in the studio.

The page count has increased, with photographs such as the ocean/ underwater photos on page 12/13. I had discovered a challenge with the underwater photograph, this challenge further becoming noticeable the more I developed the pages. This being pixelation  - the software warns you when the photographs pixels are too low for printing, therefore gives you an option to ignore or select the most suitable size, recommended by the software. Though this may be an issue, it will help me consider and expand my ways of placing imaging, occurring in future situations actually making the book better quality wise - switching photographs for higher quality ones (making sure they still tell the storyline with clarity)

After photographing on location at a country park, I have embedded the photographs and experimented with the layout section of Bookwright. Further adding text in the font 'american typewriter' with  sizes of 20-24. Timings of the poetry had been included, though not logically thought about in consideration of what time the dream ends with page counts yet, purely for design purposes. I found that the layouts were useful and good to experiment with. 

As I had taken an amount of photographs on location, I found the timing of editing and selecting them quite time consuming and stressful - editing in Adobe Photoshop being time consuming, However, I feel I have developed skills such as using the selection tool adjusting certain parts of an image in terms of vibrance and hue along with the sharpening and blur tool- though not advanced, developing the smaller skills has allowed me to understand the layering of images and placement of tools on the software as a whole.
