The Book

Above is a picture of the books front cover in its finished state. I am quite happy with the outcome and the styles i have used. I would like to have used more memories and more photographs to make a thicker book and provide more to look at because i think it lacks a bit where i haven't used a lot of illustration or detail. I feel like in some ways it doesn't look like a lot of work, but the whole process of researching toy makers and book making, making my own toys, coming up with my own childhood memories to use and how to communicate them, taking photographs both digitally and with a 120film camera, developing the photographs, experimenting with materials and book making, and using of typography and collage - it has all been a lengthy but enjoyable process and i have learnt a lot from all the different elements i have used to make the book. I had never make a sock monster before or a book and i got to experiment with collage and using a camera i had never used before. I would like to take some of the things i have learnt further and use them in the future for other projects and develop my skills further. If i had more time i would try making more books and using different styles of binding and maybe experiment with using different materials to do this.
