so...

Okay, from were i last left off i was at the stage of explaining my research i had carried out on this project.

During th
is work we were asked to find out what we wanted to make our book about.
wrote a hundred topics i could make a book on.
i will list ten:

- Different types of light used
- Things that work/won't with light
- Different weights of things that are light
- Flavors of light (just a fun way of playing around with different coloured lights)
- Lights through time
- Colour contact sheets
- Reflections
- Improper Contrast
- Natural/ Manmade light
- Statistical measurements of light used in different countries

Now i have 100 choices to go off on possibilities to construct a book on.

I had an idea of what i wanted to experiment with, which was using my book as a bit of a game basically the idea was that we started off with a item sa
y On, and linked it onto something with a relationship with the previous item so:

(e.g. Red -> Fox -> Animal -> Fur -> Coat -> Fashion -> Models -> Beauty -> B
east -> Etc.....)

Yeah, thats the plan any howww so i listed together a hundred items which started with the word on and ende
d up linking to Plane...
i sketched out some layout considerations and items fo
r the piece being used. and how to visually make them appealing, here are a few images of the development of the book
'Light Links'





























































































































































This is my book however i have circled some areas which are to be changed , one is i want it more image based and some i need to simplify possibly change the layout into a more formal aproach and see how it turns out.

Below are two other books i had a go at, one man made one computer based, same contents.
'100 flavors of light'















Now my crit is in like 3 mins so i can only get one scan of the book
which is this:
