Creation of my Pages

When laying out my pages, I decided to take a more systematic approach and make all my text pages the same and all my photograph pages the same, similar to my photographs and how they have been composed. I presented my introduction which has been written by me, and my foreword which has been written by a fellow photographer using the right hand format tool, so that the text flowed and stopped at the end of the printing line.

I think this works as a overall composure, as it is easy to read and flows well. Although the text is hard to read at first, it becomes easier by using the composition I have used here and the spacing in-between the lines, which I changed from 1pt to 2.5pt.

I composed my photographs on the page in the same way. I created by triptychs in Photoshop and just replaced the photographs so that I knew they would be the same. I then added my subtitle underneath each of the images, which represents the name of the person in the photograph, the date the photograph was taken and where it was taken. These are things that I find in the traditional photo album, the date especially. The viewer then has to decode this, is the text referring to the person who is holding the photograph or the person in it? Did the person holding the photograph, take the photograph?

As you can see, the layout was continued upon each page.

And finally, as you can see here with the final image, the cycle of subjects draws to a close with the last person holding a photograph of me, the first subject. This would be something, I believe, that only a trained eye would see, but it will be good to find out who comments and who doesn't!
