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.

This is photo number 15 and will probably be the last one that I am putting into my book.

The book layout, which I had posted in the previous blog, is going to stay the same for now.

I am going to use Blurb to build my book. Below is a picture of how the front and the back cover of my book will look. Instead of putting my name on the front of the book, I have shown in the photo below where I've moved it to. My artist statement will go on the inside cover. The second photo shows how my pages will be laid out. I'm going to have the actual photo on the right page and the title of the photo on the left page. I don't know yet if I am going to have my photo bleed off the page or not. As of right now I have 14 photos (not including Front/Back cover) that I am going to display in my book. I might do more than 14.
