Abstraction Book
Our home work is to make an abstract book full of abstract photos. We have been given 11 weeks to research, take photos, edit and create our books.
My 30 photos
WWW: I think that using the glitch effect really worked for some of these photographs. I quite like that most of them go quite well together, and I like how some of them look quite vintage, especially because I used a grainy filter.
EBI: They were more classicaly abstract looking. I don't think they are abstract enough, in the sense that you can tell what most of them are.

Experimenting
I recently got a phone accessory that allows you to take really zoomed in photographs. I decided to take some photos with it, because the results look very abstract. These were my favourite photos that I took. I quite like the outcome because they look really pretty, my absolute favourite is the pink glittery photo. That was a picture of my highlighter palette. One thing that I don't like is that all the photos are slightly blurry and out of focus, and they also look as though they have been taken underwater.
Book Research
The first book I researched was a concertina book. The first thing i did was cut an A4 piece of blank paper in half lengthways, I then folded on of the halves in half lengthways and then again, to create a concertina. I repeated these steps with the other half of paper. I then glued the two halves together, to make a longer concertina. Next i cut out two rectangles of cardboard for the front page and the back page, they were slightly larger than the actual pages. I glued the pages to the front and back pages, and the book was complete. Ilike this idea, but i decided i wanted to use different types of paper for the pages and i wanted it to be bigger, so i tried a different style.

The next type of book making I looked at was book binding. To do this I got some different colours of card and pages from a book and sewed them together. I really liked the design for this, and the simplicity of the design and so I used this for my photography book.
