Reflective Concept
I’ve been working on the reflective piece, which explores the idea of design as both authorship and redaction. Throughout this semester, I’ve realized that I wasn’t just constructing meaning; I was also controlling and fragmenting it by deciding what to show and what to withhold.
Text:
At the very beginning, the book starts with a short intro text on the cover. Layered throughout the book are short, fragmented quotes that explore authorship, perception, and control.
Format/Images:
The piece takes the form of a small, screw-bound book (~5.75 x 2.75”) where the primary focus is on full-bleed images that have been intentionally distorted and abstracted. These images are sourced from my weekly walks; moments where I stepped away from making to pause and reflect. These walks acted as a form of interruption in my creative process, mirroring the themes of absence and incompleteness that run through the piece.
Interspersed between the full-bleed image spreads are a few vellum pages that feature process images from my previous projects this semester.
Process Example:
Reflective Process
I printed a draft version at home using regular bond paper just to get a sense of scale and binding mechanics. But… turns out I misread the screw post listing (the 8mm measurement was for the top of the screw, not the post itself). Soooo the hole I punched is way too big. Right now, I’ve tried hacking together a washer for the back of the book to hold things together, but it’s not really working (and honestly, it looks bad). I’m considering switching the binding method — maybe a simple binder clip or even a C-ring? I’ll ask for feedback on that.
Another issue: since the paper I used is thin bond paper, there aren’t enough pages to properly fill the screw post. I’m hoping that using heavier paper weight from the print shop will fix this, but if not, I might add a couple more pages just to give the binding more tension.
Alsooo… I ran into an issue with the hexagon pattern on the backs of the pages. I forgot to flip the design symmetrically when printing, so the fade progression is out of order.
Finally, I’ve tested three different corner round sizes on scrap sheets and I’ll be asking for feedback on which one works best.
Nice day pottering around the house, walked the dog twice, tried to work through DOMS at gym, made a rich coq au vin and enjoyed the much improved weather. I feel so much better now, been back from holiday for a week and really enjoying being able to clean and tidy my own space and cook my own meals. I am in a privileged position and even though I'm not in anything like a mansion it feels like such a mad luxury to have this space. It isn't much but it's mine.
