With 1 week to go until the final deadline I have been focusing on how I can work most efficiently managing my time to avoid a last minute panic, or at least make the panic organised! Right now I am focused on completing the outcome its self. I am hoping to do this for Monday. This will give me time to get it printed in time for hand in as I feel having a physical copy to look at will convey the book The Stix and its meaning how I want it to, with the idea of it being an artefact and the value in the preciousness of having something to hold if I have time to do so. Before printing again with a hard back cover for exhibition.
I have also been looking through a lot of photography, surrealism, fashion and landscape books (documented in sketchbookn and bibliography) this has given me knowledged and a greater insight into layouts, graphic design choices and the way text and photography can be used to compliment each other. The one I find most inspiring being Tim Walker Storyteller, although I have loved his photography and sense of storytelling/depicition of the British Countryside for a long time, I really like the skethcbook style scanned layout he uses to display his work within the book, with even the references and image descriptions being documented in a academic style way, as well as having the heavy text at the front of the book to give the reader context before delving into the rest of the book visually.
