Sitting down to tackle the book layout, I think I need photographic/illustrative material to enrich the visual interest of what is essentially just a programme of events. A friend and former Chelsea student has agreed to let me take some experimental shots of her beautiful black labrador and black cat. These wouldn't be cute greetings card photos, more experiments in using the textural qualities of the animals to create aesthetically interesting background/feature images.
The visual qualities of glossy black fur are strong so I think it's worth exploring this as a potential area for development within the design.
The experiments will focus on the way light catches the detail of an animal's silhouette by picking up their outline in fur. I'm going to photograph the dark-furred animals against a dark background with just one directional light source picking up their texture.
