Design Principles - What is a Book? - Concept #2

#2

Personal Journal: A Time Capsule

For this concept I thought I could document my particular journey through my first year so far. Including experiences of my life at leeds through photos, stories, quotes, words, illustration, collage etc..

I have already been recently creating my own collages from photographs and other materials. e.g.


Collaborating with image and type could be an interesting work process. Some of my favourite photographers/artists work using this kind of process. One of my favourite musicians A$AP ROCKY collaborates with Tan Camera (tancamera.com) .



The colours, photography and scrapbook style editing create an interesting vintage vibe that excels in all properties of the pieces. A$AP ROCKY regularly posts these on this instagram account, often designing the pieces so they link with each other and create a story.

This is a way I can express my journey in Leeds over the past few months I have lived here.
It is also interesting how these pieces have not even been published physically and are all based online. This is something I could consider when creating my book. Do I want it to be digital? Physical? or Both? The question of "What is a Book?" is rather subjective.
