WEEK 10

DUE BY MONDAY @ MIDNIGHT
Update series blogs with seven new images, as usual.
Plan the layout of your book project. Please upload your first 10 pages +  front and back cover.  Please upload them as screen shots so that we may see the spread as you have designed it.


Pay special attention to the flow of the book. When you open a pictorial book, the left and right page, together, generally create a new composition. Please be aware of that as you create the layout. Be careful of tonal inconsistencies. For instance, if you color corrected the image on page one, and not the image on page two--you will see a color shift that will create a disconnect for the viewer. Essentially, take your time and be cognizant of creating a beautiful book with interesting compositions,  beautiful colors, and a flow that is appropriate for the pace that your viewers will peruse it. Also--if you have decided that a different format is needed for your book--now is the time to change your mind. This is the week to experiment. If you would like to post a few versions of pages 7&8--go ahead! We will help you decide what works best for your idea.


If you need to address your front and back covers again, I will let you know. If you have not heard from me, then we all agree that you have nailed them and we can put them to rest.


PS. THERE ARE NO RULE THAT DICTATE THAT YOUR BOOK MUST BE READ LEFT TO RIGHT OR RIGHT SIDE UP. It is an art class. If it suits your idea, try something experimental.


DUE TUESDAY @ MIDNIGHT
Look closely and critically at the work of your peers. Address each page that has been uploaded. There should be at least a sentence for each page. Offer suggestions to strengthen the layout, and if you truly believe that it is perfect the way that it is--great! Say so! Sometimes we do get it right the first time.
