blurb book
I’ve been experimenting and weighing the pros and cons for this book all semester. I have done a few blurb books before, but none with the theme of “myself”. It scares me to do a whole 40 page book about my own life. I think the theme could really encompass so many things. For me, this is a good and bad thing. I have decided this past weekend to do little pieces of my life thus far. I am going to mainly focus on memory, and using excerpts from my journal, will create a sort of on-going dialogue between the reader and myself. The book will include memories I have had, experiences I have encountered, and my thoughts on life in general (what I want out of life, and how these things I have done and will do will get me there). I want other people to be both visually and intellectually intrigued by what the book says artistically. Although I am not the best photographer or Photoshop professional, I am working with my photos to the best of my ability. Text will play a huge role for the book as well. I am excited to see how it comes out. I will try my best to post my progress over the next week on here, although it seems I am not up to date (technologically speaking), as most entries find their way into my hand-written journal. These are a few images I have been playing with the past semester…I love the idea of incorporating text into the images…but these are really just preliminary ideas
