This is my final outcome for COP2 Part 2, and the visual response to my chosen subject of Atmospherics, Psychogeography and Consumer Environments. I'm quite pleased with how my book turned out, and think that the images look really nice in print. I think that the use of the complimentary blue colour really payed off and makes my images quite striking, which Is interesting as it's quite a dull book. I'm glad that I made the decision to keep the sky a natural blue colour aswell, as I feel it illustrates the concept of the world being painted more effectively.
When naming the book, I wanted to reference the idea of colour palettes/swatch names, as if someone has chosen to see the Earth in a different shade - hinting that this could be part of a series of books in which the earth is painted different colours.
When making the images, which I really enjoyed, I found using only different variations of one colour to be really challenging, in terms of making some aspects more defined than others. Although I feel my images are really effective, I think they could've been presented alot better. I also think that the physical design of the book is very disappointing, considering the amount of time I took thinking about and experimenting with different styles. However, due to time management and a quickly approaching deadline I chose what I was able to do. There are various weaknesses present within the book that I feel make it look quite unprofessional, including offset pages, and various texture marks on the white borders. Making this book has brought to light alot of issues, especially in printing, that I will be cautious about next time.
Overall, I think my book reflects my concept quite well and that I have achieved atmosphere and an appealing textural quality in my images.
