Publication

With all the photographs I have of the allotment I'm going to put together a publication, to compliment the the cassettes and seed packets.

The design of the book is strongly influenced by the allotment. Allotments are interactive; a place where people go and force themselves on a piece of land to get want they want from it. Also allotments are ever changing; you wouldn’t recognise individual plots from one week to the next. So I wanted the book to reflect this. I came up with an idea to split the book into sections and by spiral binding them together it would allow each page to be individually turned. This would allow the reader to interact with the book, going through in their own way and by doing so creating a new combination of photographs. This method means people can go through the book getting a different mix of photographs every time- it’s always changing.
