I have decided to go with a photograph on the front page combined with some of Deshmas sketches taken from her journal, this feels more personal and accurate than the digital illustration.

I’ve gone through several changes with this spread. I tried out making the image on the right much larger to show the rollerskates but I think the spread is too crowded and doesn’t have the feel that I want. I have gone back to a smaller image but introduced a texture into the background and am now using the much more simple thinner lines on the spreads.

Introducing the lines has helped me to portray movement and I wanted to emphasise a section of Deshmas quote.

Progress on my introduction page so far. Wanted it to feel quite dynamic and portray a sense of movement.

Developing my journaling spread. I wanted this to have a scrapbook, cut and paste feel and include whole pages taken from her journal, however my style ended up changing quite a bit. After receiving feedback I decided to take words/drawings out of the page so they weren’t contained in a frame as this made more sense in depicting the, free flow of  words/feelings that is happening when journaling. Deshma said she journaled as not only a way of documenting but also as a way of release so I wanted to depict this.

Really enjoy the treatment of images in the first publication and the way these are arranged. I like the way text is arranged in the last few images particularly “A storm blown from paradise.”

Upon starting my first spread and gaining feedback, i have decided to change my direction. I am wanting to go for a more personal, hand-made feel. I feel like this would be a more appropriate style for my subject.

These photos were all taken on Deshmas camera (carl). She uses photography as another way of expressing herself and capturing special moments.

Something that Deshma mentioned in our interview is how she enjoys collecting things for sentimental value. She has a lot of collections including festival/movie tickets, notes and things she has collected from places like rocks and shells. I would really like to incorporate these into the visual essay.

I’ve asked Deshma to photograph any pages from her journal which she feels comfortable with sharing. I would like to do a spread on journaling in a scrap book kind of style.
