BOOK PROJECT: FINISHED PIECE

Here are some photographs of my finished book project (taken in sections due to length of the piece). It consists of six pages, each with a quote on one side and a collage of found images relating to the quote on the other, held together with a pink ribbon. I chose to use a ribbon because it would allow me to hang up the piece so both sides could be seen, and allows for more movement and interaction than simply placing them on a surface or in a container. I chose a pink-coloured ribbon because I felt it tied in nicely with the romantic theme of the piece.

Overall I found this project quite challenging at times, and met several obstacles along the way. However, I am happy with the way it turned out and feel that I overcame the difficulties I faced quite well. I also enjoyed exploring collage more, as it is an area of art that I've always enjoyed. I feel that I learnt a lot about the importance of organisation and research from this project, both in the making of the actual piece and in keeping a sketchbook/notebook/blog detailing my progress. I especially liked using a blog to document  my research, and will likely continue to use blogs to document various projects in the future.
