Dream Baby Dream by Jimmy Marble is a collection of playful element of creative and positive text. Although this book aesethetic is more dreamy and brightly coloured than I intend mine to be the element of playfluness created in the written notes by the photographer to compliment each image is an effective touch – for me as a reader I feel this creates a more intimate feel and inisight into the photographers work and creative mindset.

This being said, within my own work I plan on adding pieces of creative writing alongside my image, that are short but thought provoking and continue the train of thought my photography takes the viewer on to maintain the feeling and action of an escapist narrative and feel for the reader. As I want my book to carry a natural flow through the pages, where the reader stays consumed and does not feel like they have to stop and pause to read overwhelming chunks of text.

Compared to the previous book Fallen Fruitless Woven by Tanya Marcuse, shares an aesthetic I find more visually appealing than the last book. The use of black and white, natural floral pastel colour palette compliments the forms of the natural objects. The colour brings out the pink and greens of the petals and dark colours of the branchs, that creates an omninous tone.

Graphically the combinations of full double spread bleed images and spreads with majority white space, means the readers eye is lead by the graphic design/placement of the images more engagingly, as it encouragers the reader to follow the images around the pages.

This book has been documented on the youtube chanel linked above creating a stop frame animation of flicking through the pages and playfully moving the printed book about, I like this as it creates a more tactile digital version and could bring a digital version of my book to life through video, for veiwers who do not access a digital copy.
