FMP - Website animation - book

Displayed on the website would be indication to the printed book. As i do not want this to be read by general public, i would blur the text displayed here.

FMP – Website Animation – The Dash

For the online site I have decided to animate sections in the style of the printed book.

This Is the poem by Linda Ellis – The Dash.

I have included names of some family members, within dashes, lost over the years.

FMP - Online – Website trials

Looking at design layouts for the website. I am thinking to keep with the layout styling as used in the book in order to keel the relationship. It may be seen as a simple layout, but I am trying to keep the focus on the content over concept.

FMP - Book - Online

As the three physical printed books only display the front cover and two double page spreads, I am intending to simulate the book on display on a section of the website. I aim to do this through an animation. As the content is sensitive and personal I will be disguising the text so it is unreadable.

FMP - Online - Digital resource

As we live in a very digital age, I will be putting all the information for my children in a single site as a reference for them. This would also be a source that can be updated in-between editions of the printed book.

FMP – Wrapping paper – Final

After prolonged looking at my wrapping paper short list I have decided I was still not happy with my design so far, I felt there was something still missing. Looking at sweet wrappers it struck me I was looking for a feeling of luxury in my design but still whilst keeping it simple.

The modification I implemented was based on my set4 designs but altering the size and breathing space between the repetitions.


FMP – Wrapping paper – Thoughts

I started to think adding the colour to the emblem would give it a different feel…. I felt I was right; I just did not like it! By adding the red it has taken away the subtle feeling of emblem I was trying to create. I chose to base the emblem on light weighted lines; the colour seems to make these heavier.

The breathing space between the logo also gives a different feeling to the layout. I am more in favour of the mono emblem with a lot of negative space.

FMP - Imagery – MDJ colour

Looking at the mono image I felt it could do with colour added. Now iv seen it I reverse my decision and will return to mono.

Revised content

















FMP - Imagery – MDJ

Final illustrations - using initials only.






FMP – Wrapping paper – Set2






FMP - Emblem – Short list

I’ve narrowed my emblem style down to these two.

I do prefer the positive and negative versions but can see the need for colour.



FMP - Imagery - Treatment 2

Started to think the previous style of imagery was a little heavy so decided to take a new direction. This image is in negative form.

FMP – Centre spread - idea

Although the book is kept as a blank white page on the left side, I am considering breaking away from this rule with a double page spread.

If I do adopt this, I am still undecided if to use a two-image area, single image area or full bleed image.

The more I see the full bleed is spread, the less it is appealing to me.

single image area









full bleed image
