Stuff I Did This Week:I’m still rethinking the final presentation of my work – what I want it
Stuff I Did This Week:I’m still rethinking the final presentation of my work – what I want it to look like, what form I want it to take, how much I aspire to have finished. This week I did some experimenting with the form of a book, how images work together to tell stories, how words play into that, and how the language of “book” affects the information. (All of this outside of my current understanding of graphic, linear story telling)The cool and different thing for me about using these images is that I have a lot less control over the content of them. They’re photos that I’ve already taken, and not well. I have very little experience with photography, and that was one of the first rolls of film I ever shot. Film cameras don’t take care of all the settings for me, so most of my shots are focused on the wrong thing, or super blurry, or underexposed. It’s relaxing to construct a story out of things that don’t necessarily go together or aren’t what I would plan or expect them to be. I used some of my favorite shots from a roll of film I shot in Berlin last winter to compile a 12 page “book”. Right now I’m trapped in the computer. I’m not sure how to physically manifest it, or if I’m using the best program (Illustrator) to compile the elements. Right now I’m trying to reconcile with the idea of presenting pieces of something and letting those pieces allude to a whole that might be, rather than having the whole. In that spirit, here are three pages from the experimental book I designed!Next step - Figure out how to print it and have it to hold. -- source link
