OUGD404 | Studio Brief 02 - Book Idea and tutorial


I am keen to do a photography based book but this creates some issues. As I need to demonstrate so many skills with type and layout, I need to ensure I have enough content to show these skills. The other problem is that generating my own content will lengthen the production time. After brainstorming some ideas of what I could photograph, I came up with the idea to create a book that documented my exploration of photography. I have only began learning how to use a DSLR since I got to LCA and I am enjoying developing my skills in this area. I feel creating a book documenting this will also help with my own personal development and will aid me with learning how to photograph.

When I presented this idea to the group, they suggested that I could do a section for each setting e.g. apature, then present good and bad example of this feature.
Someone suggested that I could bind the book in a landscape to best present the photographs.
They said that the book could demonstrate my evolution of bad to good photography. Also, that they liked the idea of the book being similar to a personal journal. It was suggested that I look at similar types of book for research.

I had suggested that I could present the information in a post-modern style to represent my confusion with learning how to use a camera. The group felt that this would make it look like I had taken a bad photo on purpose.
