Final Layout

I have now decided on a final layout for my book. I have put the photos into sets of 5 leaving me with around 8 sets. I didn't want to do much more than this as I feel after 40+ images the book could get very repetitive  I've tried to organise the photos into sets but finding links between them in colour, texture and composition. I feel this has worked out quite well. The book is quite minimal but I think it works given the content. The grid system is very neat and the photographs themselves are quite uniform so I wanted this to transfer into the layout of the book.









I've tried to keep the book content minimal apart from the images. I prefer things looking clean which is why I've chosen a white background with black text, I think a lot of text or colour would detract away from the grid/set system. I've also chosen to have a page in between the sets with 16 images set in a grid, the images are repeated throughout the book but in a different order. This adds a sense of familiarity and lets the viewer make there own links between the images before being shown the links I wanted them to see in the form of sets.
