As I was really stuck with all of the ideas that I had and didn’t know which one to choose from, I talked to my housemates today about all of my ideas. They said that I was having too much ideas and they weren’t bad, I just didn’t know how to come up with an execution that I like. I tend to abandon all of the ideas that I hadn’t even tried out yet. Before discussing with them, I was so stressed out about the structure of the book and also the content of the book. I didn’t know which binding method to use and should I not include the concept of city in. I had been trying to come up with an execution which can pull everything together, but the typesetting and the binding method didn’t seem to go well with the city concept. Therefore, they suggested me to only focus on the nunnery images. They said that making the book as a physical form of a city escape would be the simplest and the best idea without jumbling up all ideas from everywhere. They also suggested that making a concertina would be the best way as it does not require any binding process which is most relevant to the idea of the no nail building structure.
ANALYSING THE DISCUSSION
- glue, staple, threads —> same concept as nails
- Printing out single pages and glues them together into a book would look like forcing them together without a refined/ planned out binding method
- Concertina
- Nunnery images only
- wooden board for rent and back cover
I was relieved after talking to them cause everything seem to be working now. In the end I decided to use the initial idea of making the the book a physical for of quick city escape. As for the solution for the binding and the form, making it into a conrcertina will sort everything out.
