Evaluation:

^{As seen above, these are my final book screengrabs. I am confident in saying that I am very pleased with my outcome. I believe that there are many strengths and some weaknesses in my book. One of my strengths is my structure.  The use of quotes and colored and black and white images within my book really shows my creativity and thinking process when creating this book. The use of colored images at the beginning of my book, which is where I show a human figure ‘connecting’ with nature, allows me to set the tone for what my book is about. I purposely did this because I am aware that my Heading on my front page is an uncommon word that many don’t know which encourages audience to research about it therefore allows audience to be much more engaged with my book. Carrying on with my colored images, the structure of the images, is meant to show what connecting with nature is like again, reminding audiences what this book is about.}

 ^{Moving on, another strength of mine is the use of comparison in my black and white images. These images show how connected and related we are to nature. The use of side-to-side comparison allows audiences to clearly and actively realize the connection we have with nature. I have no doubt that the use of side-to-side comparison shows my clear intentions of what I wanted the audience to realize, which I also believe is one of my strengths. Lastly, I am sure that a strength that I show in my book is my title and cover. My cover is fully black, simple but eye catching. The simplicity of the cover allows no distractions and is straightforward. The fact that it is fully black is also engaging because it is not something that is seen regularly in photo books. The title itself is engaging and powerful. It is an uncommon word which strikes curiosity therefore guarantees that audiences will be interested and involved. It is a word that many will have to research about it, which is powerful itself, hence why I believe that my title is a strength in my photobook.} 

^{However, there are some weaknesses in my book and improvements are needed. Like the fact that my creativity is minimal. My editing is great but my creativity within my image’s lacks. I could have incorporated more images in my book where I merge nature and humans together, using photoshop. For an example, taking an image of a trunk coming from the side of a tree and then merging an arm of a human coming out of the trunk. I could have also used more colour in my book. Like radical colours and edits of my images. This would ensure that I had contrast and diversity in my images and within my book. Lastly, I mention that one of my strengths in my book is the simplicity of the cover, however it can also be a weakness and a place which seeks improvements. This is because simplicity lacks creativity which some may seek and therefore not engage certain groups of audiences. I could have made my cover more colourful and abstract}
