Summer Project

Hi all hope you're enjoying your hols, here is a bit of Summer-time work from Andrew

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 ).
