My original plan was to take a book that focused on travel and being in a place for 72 hours (weekend-type trips that are more attainable, or not really trips but the mindset of looking at the place you are in with a different approach/emotional lens) through the entry creation process. From the idea to the concept to the proposal. From there I would start the whole design process as well as a collection of needed imagery and start on writing. After the last class and John stating that essentially everything is a trip or a journey, it made me think of the I’d a little more holistically about the project and all the parts that will make up the whole.
All the little things one does throughout the day, week, and month that lead to these little journeys can be documented, as they are the prologue and an essential part of the journey. Without all this beginning material, the final concept would most likely feel hollow and rushed.
I think all this additional content will allow me to make smaller books/volumes that will feed the final book/compilation and then some. I would rather have extra vs. feel like I’m compromising with design or content within the final piece.
I will have to rethink the way I had planned to shoot the images. I do have to take others’ privacy into consideration while finding a way to document. Originally I was going to not use a phone/point-n-shoot digital, but this may be the least intrusive way to document.
Mundane daily journeys:
Breakfast
Dog walk
Walk to class
Commuter day (train/school drop-offs and pick-ups)
Shows/concerts
Errands
Art days
Comp title research day
Date night
Lazy day-in
Karting day
Track day
Bike sponsor day
Training day
Competition day (how to document???)
Car day
Workday (remote)
Workday (?NYC office?)
Any of these can be visited as a series of photos/writing/videos.
Should be more than enough to feed into smaller book style/design exploration leading to the final book(s).
