Hey its been a while!

Hey hows it going?

It's been such a busy time the last month or so... trying to keep everything in order for all my project's. When it comes to the artists books there coming along really well but its something that is going to take me some time to finish and by finish i mean do well!!!!!! 



The artist book I'm going to hand in for Mac Lab 

I went with using the black cover we hand made in class, I think that the cover worked out really nicely. The images that are on the inside are from my very first idea, which was to use the images from the gardens project that we did last term.

Each images is the same size and there are doubles of some, in all there are 12 images that haven't been re sized but have been changed on photo shop, across all the images there has been changes in tone, colours, filters and backgrounds. 

I've worked with using earth tones (browns, greens etc)  and contrast them with bright dramatic over the top colours (pink, purple etc). I did this because on the one hand it relates to the nature of the subject and one the other hand it draws attention to the topic which and be underlined as environmental.

One thing i have noticed when people look at the book they questions different things about it including the subject matter, the colours, the way it folds out, where the photos were taken.........     
That's good because it's shows that people are interested and that it's making people think, also it helps me to refine further ideas and look differently at the ways i do my work, weather it be working on the artist books, doing a painting, drawing etc.    

Soon Ill have some images up of the final product.  

Catch Naomi.
