Book Binding went quite well and im quite pleased with my overall book, but it could have been a bit tighter as a few double page spreads need to be a bit more in line but I dont have tike to do them so I will just wwrite about it in my evaluation! I looked at books by artists who I like such as Martin Parr and had a look in the libary at college to see how book front covers look as Im making a sleeve for it. I've bound my book and it is just smaller than A4 so in photoshop I amde a few designs as to how it could look.
My final design has a white spine and the the name of the book is in bold and just from the top, with my name slightly smaller and positioned in the middle. The text on the spine couldnt be read other wise and so I played around with how it was going to be positioned on the spine. I chose these two photographs for the front cover as the the one i have used on the front page is perfect for showing the cafe and is the 'enterance' to the book - hense the doorway and on the back I have used the photo of themenu that is is on the front so that people know what they are going to find in there. Martin Parrs think of England has something similar on the back which shows a menu of a cafe he photographed. I think it works well.
Ive treied to get across in the book the idea of getting introduced to the cafe from being outside it, to coming and ordering to it being busy to then it dying down and finally leaving which took a while to get a right but think it has been succesfful.
