As part of an Image-Making Course, we were asked to collect images of a subject in various styles, look into a scale of abstraction techniques, learn about the composition elements like hierarchy of scale, space, and figure-ground, and finally create a book with a narrative using all those elements and techniques.
This is the last part of the course - the final narrative I have created for my subject, Cheetah.
The cover pages showcase the initial and final stages of the act (highlighted by the illustration style over a solid contrasting background), the in-between spreads narrate the story of the act (cheetah looking at prey and begins to attack) in a form of an abstract depiction (on the left page) and a dramatic bleeding out photograph to express the stage. The whole book when flipped clearly shows the story in a very clean, simple, and logical way. The element of surprise comes in last spread when the cheetah surprisingly begins the sprint so as to catch the prey. The back cover brings closure.
