Book update

So as I head towards laying out my book here are some of the decisions I’ve made.

• Pacing and the use of photography styles/framing/composition to control that: I am working with basically 2 sets of photographs—people and objects—and each has a range that consists of the bigger picture (shots of the entire space), the detail and photos that has a mix of both. I also have black and white photographs. Each will be used in an specific way so that the book has a certain underlying logic.
• Type treatment
• Use of cutout/collage images: my intent is to use them as decorative/flourish elements. I find that the pictures were compelling and descriptive enough and having big images on top was hindering the “readability” of the images.

Now, to production!
