myBook

I have a few ideas on what to include in my book for this semesters project in artist books class. One idea that I was thinking about would include images that I am creating for a portrait project I am working on. I would include the images along with writings describing the people in the images. Maybe I could ask the subjects I photograph interesting questions about their life or ask them what they want me to include with their mug shot. Questions from left field or ones not normally asked would be interesting to include.



I also wanted to create a book that included photographs of art pieces that I have compiled over the years. I would include mostly drawings, but some paintings as well. I thought about taking the drawings/paintings and altering them in photoshop and illustrator and adding what we have learned with text in indesign to make them more interesting. I want to alter the text greatly giving it an abstract form of communication. One that is far from the standard linear columns.



Another idea I thought about was to implement landscapes of downtown san diego and all of the interesting city street culture. I spent a large amount of time in the city this winter break and I found many stunning images within the architecture and city streets. I would love to shoot more photographs in the city and somehow apply it to the project and write something worthy of print.
