BOOK OF OBJECTS
The Project
Design a book that features five objects you treasure and are important to you. Whether that be your own five objects as source material or interviewing a friend or family member about their five objects.
My Approach
I began photographing my items with a Canon camera and writing prompts for each of them. To figure out my layouts for each spread, I experimented with different edits in photoshop using black and white filters, duotone, color threshold, removing of background, and image trace in Adobe Illustrator. Next, I created 7 different layout iterations for one of my objects to test the waters for what I could do for each spread. This allowed me to think broadly about how I could edit each photo and layout for that specific object to set the mood for each spread. For the front and back cover, I was inspired by my journal because that is what I wrote my prompts in. So, I stuck with the theme of a journal layout for a few pages in my book.
