Book Project 3 July- 5 October 2013
The idea for the
project is to take a visual idea and transform it or travel with it sequentially
throughout a book or book form,( it could be a concertina form, pop-up or an
original concept for a book ).
The image development
process can be very varied or subtle eg it might be a visual diary of a plant
growing and dying, an abstract graphic response to the page layout, taking a
line for a walk, text based, repetition, textural, informative or totally
obscure.
You can make the book
or buy one, but most importantly you need to consider everything about it,
size, quality and layout of each page. The whole book is the work not only the
content. It must contain no less than 10 pages ( facets ).
