3 Varying cover ideas, one with the separation of the word 'unseen' and the names of the photographers exhibiting, so that it actually reads as these are the people you haven't seen/you've just seen...
Another option was to have really large type across the cover, this would suit the spread designs which were a bit more in your face, I don't particularly like this approach I think it's too abrupt but I felt it should at least be explored.
The third option is to have simply the title on the front cover.
We're thinking about how we can use finishes so that the concept is reflected through the clear visibility of some parts of the word and not as clear in other. So at the moment we're thinking maybe a varnish or emboss for the 'un' and a foil for 'seen'.
Trying to take the design direction from the spreads and applying the methods to the Foreword written by Adrian. Originally this was going to be an introduction, however it's not really an introduction into the book rather a written piece about photography in general, with slight reference to the photographers in 'unseen'. And so we decided that it would be a foreword instead.
Some other layout ideas for spreads. I was concerned that the spreads were a bit too simple and so after speaking to Gasi thought about how the information could be presented in a much more uncomfortable way so that maybe it's not all aligned and although looking interesting forced the audience to look at the photography because it was easier for the eye to settle on. I thought that the addition of thumbnails was interesting however probably unnecessary because there aren't that many photos for each photographer and it draws attention away from the larger images.
