Tim-Bookem Dano- Developing work

Pre-production of book project
The work I completed before making my final book for the book project helped inspire and create the final book. I used different techniques to develop ideas with idea generating ideas and mock-up books. I also looked at digital ways of creating and organizing my book. In a previous project, I had created a book about a documentary project using blurb.com, an online book creator which ships the book to you. In contrast to that project, I wanted to create a completely homemade book using homemade paper and binding the book before hand.
One way I developed My ideas and planned my book was by making mock-up books. I have made three mock-ups which show different ways of binding and creating books. The mock-ups I created show handmade and technology developed books.

Sketches

As well as using mock-ups to develop ideas, I also sketched my photograph layout to correctly place my images in a coordinative fashion. The order I decided on was the colours going from light to dark.

Mood boards

I used a mood board to share ideas in one place, which was an easy way of developing ideas easily. I found this technique worked well as I could see ideas together which made the development of those ideas realistic.

I also looked at different ways of binding books for this project, I have decided to use a japanese binding technique using sewing as this has proved the most effective.

Also I looked at a previous project I did were I created a book on the website Blurb.com.
