elements of my book design

Here is the page in my book i created using text captured from twitter and Facebook status's over the past weeks.

Here is an example of one of the kind of page layouts i used in my book. Every now and again i flipped the layout and chose to display only one image as to increase visual impact, encourage the viewer to spend more time with the image to consider it's significance in terms of the entire body of work and also to ensure the flow of the book didn't become too predictable.





Below is the other layout i have used which appears more frequently that the layout above.
Although the images run in a timeline sense i have also grouped the images according to the content and whats occurring within the frame as to enhance my message that these activities frequently occur each weekend.



Another example of a 2 page spread which features one large image accompanied by some smaller ones


You may notice the time on the pages which is displayed vertically and adjacent to the larger image.

As the book progresses the intensity of the colour black fades as to represent the time disappearing and also to encourage the reader to subconsciously spend longer taking in all the information. In addition the supporting text which gives the images more context and narrative blur's as the book develops.
this was achieved in photoshop. Although the text never becomes entirely illegible i hope that the reader will increasingly struggle and therefore spend more time on the pages.
It is an attempt to take the viewer on a journey and almost provide an interactive experience of becoming more and more drunk.
