For this portrait book design, I wanted to include old pictures found, to really bring the theme of nostalgia along. I wanted to use quite a few of the images but it was too much and when you first opened the book, you couldn't really see what was supposed to be happening. For my next one, I'm going to add a small poem so that the ideas of nostalgia  are more clear and possibly add less images. Throughout the book, its a narrative and the photos go from the inside to slowly exploring the outdoors.

The images put like this all under each other are too much as well as all being on a singular page. I was editing some of the images to fit in with the rest of the vibrance with the rest of the image, and they were quite underexposed so I changed some of the exposure and contrast then it was working quite nicely. I then removed one of the images and was sequencing with two images and it worked slightly better as there was not so much on a page and there was more space to move and rearrange photos.

Here, I was experimenting with triptychs and working with a sequence of three images together. All the photographs are quite similar but they work well together especially the bottom ones with the trees as the sunlight shines through on different areas.

For this one, I was experimenting with the size of each of the image and how they would work next to each other and if the image should go into the gutter or not, and how much detail it would lose. I didn't quite like how this looked on the page and the positioning of them. I then was rearranging them again and I put them on two different pages and smaller on both pages and it worked much better and sat on the page much better.

I was starting to like this sequence a bit more and how the images were being laid out and I made some of them with a bigger whiter space around so there was more space to breathe around the photo, which was what I was trying to do while sequencing them and for the singular images, I did them slighly bigger over two pages.
