Talking about Photobooks

Book coverTalking about Photobooks

Talking about Photobooks is compelling as an actor in discussion on photographic books as a medium of artistic production. The reflective approach starts from the repetition of the title on the front cover, over the spine, onto the back cover, and onto the free edge, representing the never-ending loop of reflection and contemplation regarding photobooks.

The title placement on the inside of the spine is a nod to the act of photographing the contents of the book, a visual credit line appearing in
all the photo documentation. The typography and layout take a practical approach in line with the function of the book as an educator on
the history, contemporary state, and future of photobooks.

The design approach is evident in the use of colour limited to the images and contributor texts, attention to the colour of the free edge,
and the functionality of the cover.
