December 3
In the beginning my book had two structure designs. The first one was 11” long and 4.25” high and would be bound by stab stitching. This was the more obvious choice for doing a book on bridge but this is not the one I chose. My second book structure is 4.25” x 4.25” and is going to be bound with a screw posts. I chose this book because I don’t want to show images of the whole bridge. Instead the book will focus on parts of the bridge, the steel beams, wire cables, towers, arches, etc. This structure doesn’t have any spreads either.
I have changed the pictures to a black and red duotone. The images of the bridges have this romantic feel to them so I decided to go with that. Right now the duotones still need work but I have all the pictures. The back of the pictures is going to have information on the bridges. It’s not going to be full sentences just bullet point format. I’m still working on getting all the information and then I will be shortening it into bullet points.
Its almost as if there are two separate books one side will be all pictures and the other side will be information. There will also be two different covers, one for each side. Although the sides are different they connect because of the simplicity of the information on each.
