Bookwright

From conducted research of websites, I have concluded that Blurb would be most suitable to use, due to its advantages such as a plug in for Adobe Lightroom and InDesign, and its own software titled Bookwright. The time for shipping being 4-5 business days and good pricing for the selected GSM paper / hardback paper option, I feel that using Blurb will be most sustainable, along with an understandable software, in which I am using to produce the pages. I plan to use the plug-in for Adobe InDesign to produce the front and back cover of the book, though due to the timing, this may not be possible.

Beginning the production, I have searched and experimented with the software Bookwright, this including the pages, layouts, masters and photograph options the software has.
As stated in pre production, the first photographs are in black and white to represent the before time of the dream, furthermore, developing within the software I found that background page colours can be changed (ALT+SHIFT+B)

I therefore decided to make the background black with white text, adding an aesthetic to the beginning but also contributing to the clarity of the story line. 

The left management of pages is the first draft of all pages. The initial count was 20 pages, the themes I had gotten photographs for being nature and culture. Fellowship photographs accompanied after being in the photography studio, this documented in the post 'silhouette photography'
No text besides wording at the start of the book had been included, along with simple photographs at small sizes on most pages.

Other introductory aspects I had when using the software was the application of text and borders. page 2/3 have experimental white borders, along with the content of my photographs and word phrasing.

Options for borders are creative and good for use, including sizing /thickness, colours and different types of bordering lines. As my plan is to gather all content first within the book, I am currently unaware of whether bordering will be including, however I have found experimenting with the application on these pages insightful and will consider throughout the pages, depending on the aesthetic and timing left to complete design and finalising to print in time.
