Ranbom Roll + Book Project Idea

11 BOOK

2++ Contact Sheets & 12 Prints in a Book with a Cover (cover can be same image as one in book).
Photograph a basic topic (i.e. flowers) and compile a series of 12 photos in a book. Each image should have a strong composition and be able to stand on its own, but share a common thread. The book should be no more than 5 x 7 in size and must have a cover that reflects the contents of the book with a title and your name. Each image should be framed in a unique way that showcases your series effectively. You must take at least two "rolls" (min. 20 images each) or engage in 2+ shoots to construct your series and submit at least 2 contact sheets of your idea development.
Here are some links to inspire your concentration/book projects... to name a few...
