Book Design process 01

I developed my thinking about the four research questions based on prior research.

And I designed the layout draft of my book:

Since my target audience is mostly contemporary Chinese youth, I decide to use both Chinese and English. I decide to use black and white image to show the greyness and discomfort behind the comfort zone.

And I want to use the fisheye images I made before as the main visual elements in my book.

Apart from the photos of myself, I also put an eye in the fisheye which means to observe my comfort zone.

I try to manipulate these images in different ways to made a series of interesting patterns.

Maybe I will use these patterns as the background picture or illustrations of the book.
