Page development 5

Finalisation's of text under the art theme have been completed, for example, the description of creative individuals in society on page 41 including photographers, skaters and graffiti artists. Said quote of "Do what you love and love what you do"  again from artist and photographer Connor Franta. I have decided to place these two images together due to the vibrancy they both have, along with the link between the use of objects this being that they interrupt the landscape. Linking to my previous project in photography in unit 7, where human attributes such as a human hand, eye and objects interrupted the landscape background image, contributing to the idea of human vs nature.

When photographing on location, I found that there were frames and shots in which I did not initially plan but visually liked. The process of this links to the message of the narrative within the nature theme, this being the idea of appreciating your surroundings and environmental beauty. These photographs include the photograph of shoes on page 36 and bokeh effect on page 29. Being more in the headspace to write at this stage of the book allowed me to link words to photographs better, these links being obvious for example the 'neon lights' linking to the image of bokeh lights, and more subtle links such as 'the application of silence' and photo of two individuals holding hands expressing the comfort two people can have with each other through body language, movement, or the simple presence without using language.
Design wise, more pages have been added - previously 'peace is possible' was page 35, now page 37. The pages added beforehand under the fellowship theme being 28-29. These had been added due to the continuity of timing in the book - I felt more events were needed throughout the night to allow the dream to flow and seem natural, along with a desire to add photographs I took on location unplanned. Coming to an overall conclusion of page increase.

Linking the topic of LGBT more clearly and embedding rainbow/ abstract photography as discussed in planning, I have placed the photograph of the rainbow eye next to another rainbow photograph. In comparison to before, where the rainbow eye and holding hands silhouette were placed together, I feel that this spread links more aesthetically and by narrative. 

Content wise including the writing and photographs upto this point are complete, finalising the end pages of the book are in process. Discussing design with my mentor, I have added two pages from the front and back of the book. The design and layout of these are indicated under 'front and back cover' Other design elements such as the sizing of text has also been changed, as I have been working on a screen, smaller sizes cannot be seen though appropriately when printed, the sizing must be between 12-14. Discussing this with my mentor Scott, who also showed me sizes 12-14 on paper already printed. Going through the book, I have therefore changed all font sizes to size 14, this being an appropriate size and middle sized length of text as there is not much text on the pages.
