Photography Collaboration

Brief I will be working alongside a second year photography student, Benjamin Turgel. His project is based around historical jewellery with a story. It will be location documentary taken in the subject's home.

My role in the collaboration will be to use Photoshop to alter the images. Benji's vision is to create high-end style images that you would see in a glossy magazine. This will help to develop my photoshopping skills. Also, I will be designing and making a publication of the images and their story. The publication will look at type, layout, stock, print finishes, binding and cover materials.

Once this has been completed for Benjamin I will revisit the layout and finish to change the purpose of the magazine. It will focus on the typography and the story instead of the photography. This will help me to explore different ways to portray the same information.

Background / Considerations I need to think about the overall finish. What materials will be used? How will they alter the tone of the final book?

Considerations need to lie within the subject’s interests; they may not want to be personally identified in the book.

Printing costs, binding, Benji’s deadline, communication and alterations in design need to be thought about.

The photography and book will be put on display in the Leeds College of Art Mosaic Café Exhibition.

Mandatory Requirements

Deliverables

Photoshopped imagery Layout book/magazine Close communications with the client

2 book designs (1 for the client & one for myself).

Each menu design should be specifically targeted at making more profit for the companies and increasing the customer’s experience.

The menu's will take into consideration type, layout, print finish, range, materials, stock, binding, costing, technologies.

Will the cost of the menu design make it ineffective on profits?

What is a customers needs when they go to eat here?
