Discovering Milton

Milton, FL was established in 1844. Though I have lived in Milton my whole life, I haven't taken the time to really look at the area. With this series of photographs I will be documenting the discovery of my hometown through the people who live there and will allow for the photographs to speak for themselves. I will be using blurb.com to create my book. It will be 10x8, hardcover with a dust jacket. The book will consist of up to 20 pages of full bleed photographs.

Here is some of what I uploaded to blurb.com. Just to give you an idea of how the book will look.



This is the front cover, back cover, spine, and dust flaps.

front and back cover ideas

I did a few more front and back covers. I'm really liking these. Like I stated in an earlier post, the photos inside the book will be full bleed and the book size will be 10x8. I'm going to try to stick to 10x8 horizontal photos, but if I have a vertical photo that I really like, I'll put it in the book with either another photo beside it or just let it stand along with a white background behind it. Let me know what you think, any advice is definitely welcome.

Front cover idea 2





Here's a different front cover. Val made a good point about many of my images being landscape, so I'm going to do a 10x8 book instead. I'm still working on the back cover and my artist statement. Hopefully I'll have something soon for you guys to actually see.

Book Layout

I want to do an 8x10 with a dust jacket. I've designed the front cover, but don't have an image for the back cover yet. I will also be putting my artist statement on the back cover. Let me know if I should change anything.
