Alexa, Staci, Garrett - Concepts

Concept #1
Title Idea: “Remember When..”

* This book follows the concept of a diary
* The book would incorporate hand-drawn images and lettering with the photographs and questionnaires.
* Chapters would be sorted by color

* Pages would have the appropriate color encompassing the photograph (instead of white-space) that is related to the chapter it follows

* Bound with the spiral concept

* Introduction page and page of credits would have the illusion of being printed on lined paper

* The book would consist of a few Gate Pages (that allow the user to interact with the spread)




Concept #2
Title Ideas:
“The Colors Inside Her”
“Underneath Her Skin”
"Full Circle"


* Pictures are sorted by color (chapters are color-coordinated and pictures will be placed within the chapter appropriate to the majority color within the photo)
* Each titled chapter division would have a (different) colored page with die cuts
* Pages should consist of matte paper and a thick cardstock
* A French Fold with perforated edges would be used to allow the user to open each spread to reveal two questionnaires behind the pages opened. The questionnaires would also have a colored stripe along the bottom coordinated with the color of the chapter it follows

* The index of images would take on the illusion of a spinning color wheel, using the concept of movement and windows to reveal the names of girls. The top layer consists of the girls’ photos, and the bottom layer is moved to see the names


TITLES & FONTS







COLOR ORGANIZATION

RED




PURPLE




ORANGE




GREEN




BLUE




YELLOW






CONCEPT 1

This is how a spread would look when the color shifts. A spread like this would indicate that the proceeding pages would all be blues.


This is how a typical vertical photo spread might look:




This is how a typical horizontal might look:


This is how a spread would look when the two images are related by content (in this case, the rainbow in the images):
CONCEPT 2

Title page to introduce the color. Die cuts reveal selected lines
of the questioner below.

Horizontal image layout. The color of the chapter will slightly peek
through from the inside of the French fold when turning the pages.

If the perforated French fold is opened the questioners are revealed.


For the special edition we will make 300 copies limited edition
for $100. We want the price to reflect the quality while still
being reasonable.


INDEX IDEAS

Images will be organized in a circular layout by color. And like the
color wheel below as you spin one part of the wheel one image
appears in a window while the name of the photographer is revealed
in another.


Images will be organized by color on the inside of the book
jacket with the names of the photographers below.
