I picked a landscape one as I have made sure I have photographed all of my images landscape too, so that it keeps my theme going.
LAYOUT
For the layout of my book I have decided to use three columns on every page, this will help me get my photographs accurate on each page of how I want them spaced out.
I have put page numbers at the bottom right and left of the book as this will help me to preference my images at the back of my book, I did this by using a text box on my master pages.
I have put an image box on each page where I feel is best appropriate, and I have made sure that it dominates my pages. I then used a small text box on each page under my photographs as I want to put the time that I photographed them.
Once I had masted the main layout on my book I was then able to style it. I knew already that I wanted to put each day and night image opposite each other on a double page spread, so I played around with the settings until I was happy with the way they were layout out. I have used a black background on the side of the page which has my night time photographs on. I feel this is a good idea because it helps exaggerate the day and night theme and make it clearer to my viewers.
My first and last pages are going to be plain as I want the view to take there time when viewing my book and to give them a play to write any notes.
After the first page I will have a small introduction to help explain what my book is about and where I have photographed it.
On my final page I will have a list of page numbers and next to the it will say where a bouts in Manchester I photographed my images, i.e road names.
COVER
For the front cover I have decided to keep with the theme of black and white so I split each of the pages in half and filled the second half with a black colour. For the front cover I wanted to put my name, title and a photograph, so I played about with the layout until I was happy with the design.
