Layout testing
May 27, 2020I got some feedback on my layouts and have tried to take that into account and make the following adjustments. I made the iPad screen-grabs of Shinya almost full bleed, to better replicate the size of an iPad, I also tried it with the Google Earth images and like the result.
I was also given the advice of breaking up the book half way with a full bleed shot of Shinya, to give a kind of harsh ‘break up’ that mimics when we loose connection digitally. I thought it might be good to follow that with a page that is almost entirely white, to contrast and give a sense of the sudden silence and emptiness as a call drops out.
Finally, I tried placing the bowls on their own page, rather than just having all of them on the single page. I am not sure which way I will go yet, but I kind of like the idea of splitting them all up to add to that sense of passing time and diaristic logging.
