Tutorial with Alex; change of direction

Beth and myself attended a tutorial with Alex and brought a range of photographs from both the boxes photo-shoot and the more recent ice formation photo-shoot. 

I was pleased with the selection of photos that we decided to take with us and wanted to figure out some sort of configuration or format that would show the imagery off to it's best potential.
Alex told us that the photos were nice, but were perhaps a little too finished. After a more in-depth discussion, we came to realise that we needed to take more photographs to sit alongside the pre-exisiting images. I need to constantly remind myself that this needs to be a source of inspiration for design. Alex suggested pairing the photos with a suggestion of the body, materials or other unrelated but suggestive images that provide the audience with a catalyst to spark their own ideas.

A suggestion of "something else" will help to trigger an explosion of ideas and will allow the audience to look at colour, form, composition and any other pieces of information and use this as a potential starting point for their own projects. This appears to be the next stage in pushing our trend book further.

It was also suggested that we visit reprographics in order to enquire about how we might want to put our book together.
