Introduction:

In order for me to have a guide for my project, I need to research about different books so that I can have a clear image of what I want to do. Doing this, it will help me find the structure or ideas I want to convey in my book and therefore help me produce my book. This will also enable me to have a head start on my book and know exactly what I am doing. So I have looked through 2 books and one magazine, this research will help me immensely with my book and these 2 books and one magazines will be like guide for me when I’m producing and constructing my book.

Book 1: ‘This equals that’ by Jason Fulford and Tamara Shopsin

In this book, I looked at the comparison and contrast within this book. I liked how the authors linked two polar opposite images by things like colours, shapes and shades. This was something that I wanted to take into consideration when producing my book.

Book 2: ‘Hold the line’ by Siegfried Hansen

In this book, I liked the minimal comparison that the author showed in his book. I liked how two pages connected in some way. It was smooth and compact. There was always something that complimented the two images that were side to side. I really like this because the structure of the book was smooth and complimentary. This was something I really wanted to do in my book.

Magazine 3: ‘Love and Rebellion’ by Hautlieu newspapers

Although this magazine is quite all over the place, I really liked the fact that the magazine had black and white images but also coloured images. I also really liked the ‘collage’ theme this magazine had and how some of the page spreads had comparisons. These two factors where factors that I took into consideration before producing my book.
