Artists Book – “Words of Expression”

Artist Statement: "There are many words that can express what is being presented in a photograph and many times words can evoke a specific idea, theme, feeling or emotion. With the addition of words to a photograph the photographer is able to better demonstrate what he or she is trying to express in their photography."
I am using Blurb to create my artists book. I will put my artist statement along with the title and my name on the first page of my artist book. The size of my book is going to be a large landscape size book and is going to measure 13 x 11. I have it set as a hardcover book with a dust jacket. The size of each picture will be 12 x 9.5 and only the Front and Back covers will be set as full bleed.

Below are my three front covers for my artist book. I've decided to put my artist statement on the inside cover and the overall size of my book will be 8.5 x 11. I have decided to use Blurb. The back cover is the same solid color for all three of my front covers.

I may also decide to eliminate the solid color as my back cover. I'm thinking of using one of the photos below as my front cover and another one of the three photos below as a back cover instead of just a solid color. For the back cover I will eliminate my name from the photo.

1st Front Cover

2nd Front Cover

3rd Front Cover

Back Cover - Solid color for all three front covers.

Below are my Front and Back covers for my artist book. It's not 100 percent definite yet, but this is the path that I have chosen for right now. I've decided to put my artist statement on the inside cover and the overall size of my book will be 8.5 x 11.
