AD5803 002 – Initial and Ending Pages

While I have been editing my book, I have realised I need to include my name somewhere within the book. I don’t want to have it on the front cover as I like the slick design of it and I don’t want to include wording on my cover page. I then thought about introducing a double […]

AD5803 001 – Community Evaluation

Overall, I am happy with my hand in. Going into this I was extremely apprehensive, I had no prior knowledge in shooting film or with development in the darkroom especially by myself. I also knew this project would be expensive, but I would have to overcome that. My first test roll was disheartening there were […]

AD5803 001 – Final Print Choice

For my final hand in I have been looking at which images out of all I have printed will end up within the final edit. Below are two images of possible selections. It was difficult because I had to decide whether to include some more detailed shots within it or not. In the end I […]

AD5803 001 – Sorting out Prints

Now that I have basically printed all of prints I needed to lay them out and see which worked best together. From looking at them I am preffering the further away images not the closer images. The details don’t tell the story as well as the landscape down back shots. This first layout above is […]

AD5803 001 – Possible cover Pages

Now that I have the majority of substance for within my book I have been thinking about the cover. I want it to be simple yet recognisable. At first, I wondered if the chequered line would be too cliche. But through a few edits and testing it out as you can see in my […]

AD5803 001 – Printing Text

Not many of my images involved text but there were a select few. I learnt early on to check the negative and how I was printing to ensure it wasn’t printed backwards. As you can see above. I created a very strong prints. I had burnt in areas and came out into the light to […]

AD5803 002 – Artist Research Lewis Baltz

I have recently discovered Lewis Baltz work. I saw his work in the book cruel and tender. I really liked the images and they applied to my current work and scanned them in. I like how they use the natural shapes to frame the image. There is a lot of symmetry and leading lines which […]

AD5803 002 – Colour Conflict

After doing the majority of my shooting I am currently struggling a lot to decide how this final book will look. I don’t know how I want it to read or feel as a final piece. My current biggest issue is the age-old debate of colour vs Black and white. I have put a small […]

AD5803 001 – Plymouth House Focal points

From shooting I have been looking at different ways in which Plymouth house can be portrayed. I am undecided whether natural and just showing off the area is better or if a negative view would be the way to look at it. The negative view could consist of rubbish and alcohol but it could be […]

AD5803 001 – Plymouth House Research

I have been looking further into this area and the westward housing group. They provide affordable housing in this area and Plymouth house comes under that. Plymouth house was an affordable housing development for over 16’s they stayed from 8-12 months but it did not stay as it was advertised. From speaking to people in […]
