Photo book
For PB4, we have to make a photo book that simply shows our interests in photography, the strength, or/and what we would like to explore more. In class this week, there was a guest, Bella, came to talk about types of photo book and their main aim of the book. It was fascinating to see how photo book can be designed differently, with different kinds of purpose. Bella also showed how some photo books are stitched differently and all.
As I’ve always been interested in graphic design and illustration. My idea of photo book I would like to do is the combination of illustration and photography. But yes of course, the main focus is still on photography but in order to make it fun and interesting, the mix of a little bit of illustration would be great. The kind of photos I would like to photograph still remains the same, portrait photography. However, this time it will be more of action kind of portrait. There’s no solid idea yet as it’s still new, but that is the main theme of the photo book. It will be fun to explore more of these two aspects together and see how to make it work. However, I have to be aware that the main aim of this photo book is photography, not illustration or drawing. It is best to try to keep the drawing low in order to focus more on photos and the design of putting them all together nicely.
