Brianne Hepworth photo book preview

I wanted to make a photo book that wasn't a typical photo book. I think this represents me well because I don't think my story fits well onto a plain photo book. So I used the concept of postcards to share my photos. A lot of changes and things that happened growing up have made me who I am today. As I was thinking about what photos to use for the book, I realized that I have such a different perspective on these moments in my life compared to when each photo was taken.

I decided to create postcards illustrating my perspective on life when I was younger compared to my perspective now. On one side of the postcard is a zoomed in piece of the photo, which symbolized my small view on the situation at the time. On the back I wanted to show what each postcard of my life has taught me now. In a way, it is the idea of "what I wish I could have told myself back then."

I like keeping things simple and straightforward. Taking shots from different angles and such isn't exactly forte. I prefer showing things as they are so there's chance of confusion in what I'm trying to get across. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate allowing people to interpret symbols or images; I just like it when the meaning isn't super easy to screw up.

What I liked most about the page seen here is the similarity and contrast between the two images. On one hand there's several shelves of books, and on the other there's an Amazon Kindle ebook reader that fits the same amount of information all into one compact and convenient device. The first represents how life has existed up to this point--space consuming, unwieldy, cumbersome. The ebook reader shows how the same stuff can become easy to access without all the trouble of lugging it around in boxes and how the future will be more minimalist and easy to take with you wherever you go.

I think that maybe I learned that I don't like to do things the expected/traditional way.

I like the controlled perspective aspect of it.

My book may seem very basic to some people, but to me negative space makes a person really focus on the specific visual element presented. These pics are just a close up of the book that describe myself. The most interesting thing to me about this book is the material I chose to bind it!

Katie's Pages

I chose to use my book as a pretty basic sum-up of who I am. What I enjoy, who I love, and what's important to me. All things that you would figure out after getting to know me. I chose to use a lot of brightly colored photographs and a collage style layout for each page. I decided to use multiple pages on each page because I felt it used the space up in the most interesting way.

Kristen's Picture Book

Here's some sneak peeks of my book so far.







So, this is a scrapbook. No, I'm not a scrapbooker. But the company I interned at this summer paid me with lots of cutsie paper and stickers, so I figured I'd put the stuff to use on this book. It turned out to be fun, but trying to sum yourself up in ten pages isn't easy. So the ten things I picked for Cutri to know about me are pretty simple facts about myself.

The design element I find most interesting was the different colors of paper, letters, embellishments, paint, and pictures I had to work with. One thing I learned about myself is that I like things to be aesthetically pleasing. I spent a lot of time planning the layout of the different elements on each page and figuring out how the colors and patterns would work together.
