-- -*Summative Question )( camilo.g*

1. What is your book about?




I recently changed my idea, it was originally going to involve blind sketching of pictures that describe a story, but I decided the actual process would be far too uncontrollable on my part. The newer idea sparked when Bishop mentioned a catalogue, and So I want my book to be a bit of a life catalogue, combining anything from clothes to furniture, that indirectly define my style, interests, etc.



2. What makes your content choice specific to you?



The fact that this book will contain several products of which I will have created in order to describe ultimately who I am, what I like, what I find funny. It’s a collection of thoughts in the form of a public products catalogue.



3. How are you going to represent your content?



The content will be shaped with created images of products, clothing, furniture, care products, electronics, and toys, anything I come up with that I can use to describe a part of me in the book.



4. How do you intend to communicate the content?



The catalogue will contain written descriptions in which I describe what the product is, what it represents, and in the tradition of a typical catalogue, a price. Any other information I will add according to what I see from looking through other similar existing books.



5. What content editing methods will you use?



For editing the content, a simple Photoshop job should suffice, perhaps some of the contents will be drawn on Photoshop or Corel Paint, both are neat and handy in their own special way.



6. What media are you using to make your imagery?



Media wise, the imagery will be anything from photographs, to drawn pictures, and will also be manipulated or created in editing programs. The range from fully photographic pictures to fully hand drawn pictures will be where the imagery will stand.



7. Why are you making this particular book?



I like the idea of cataloguing an entire outlook and interest of a single person and creating merchandise oriented book of real/ fictional products that represent interests, thoughts, ideas and personality.



8. How does your choice of content suit your skills, experience, and interest?



The materialistic theme of this book shamefully suits the fact that I sometimes do get carried away in consumer product. Clothes, new technology, anything that catches my eye, is hard not to walk away with. The actual content allows me to use so many different skills, photography, drawing, editing, creating layouts, to create the essence of a humorous, personal version of my overall interests.



9. Describe the style and look of your book and how it is linked to the content.



The book will simply look just like a catalogue, consistent fonts, clean, easy to read through, big imagery with brief descriptions and easy-to-read prices. As far as the actual book making progress, I have yet to think that through, however with this set idea in mind, it should be easier to figure that part out in time.
