The Final

This is the visual I used to show the flipbook in a digital matter.



Test Pieces

I tried out experimenting on some discards to see which was the best way to present the flipbook.
In the end, I decided to leave it with the plain white border.

The Final Idea

Images representing letting go

The final idea for the task is to present images that represent letting to. 

The Layout: 

The Images:
The first 4 images represent someone leaving.





 These 4 images represent thought.




These 3 images represent letting go.




These 3 images represent relief.




And the final one represents acceptance. 


The final layout:
Page 1

Page 2 and 3

Page 4 and 5

Page 6 and 7

Page 8

Explanation:
I personally love this representation of letting go. I tried to explain the process of it in these images and I also came up with the idea to change the colour of the background to clearly show that it is getting better. I was not interested in adding text beside the title and on the 6th page where it says 'IT WILL BE OKAY'. Overall I am pleased with how the mock-up came out.

The Diary Idea

Another Idea I had was to have a diary of someone who was just left by their partner. I enjoyed doing the layout for this idea and I was going to use this idea but I went in another direction.

The Layout:
The Images:






Explanation:
This girl has been left by her boyfriend and this is her diary after they break up. Abandonment represented in a breakup. There are notes like 'I deserve better' and 'why did you leave?'... etc. she is also sort of trying to remove him from her post sort of I will abandon the thought of you like you abandoned me, so the scribbles are added after thy break up and would be in a red pen which will be a colour representation of rage towards the situation and person.

The Balloon Idea

An idea I had for the layout is to do a flipbook and the images inside would show someone letting go of a balloon but I would need more than 8 pages. I added it simply to portray the idea more clearly and it is presented as an alternative.

Layout
The idea behind this is for the front page to say LET IT GO and once you flip it the balloon is being let gone of. on the back of the book upside down there is written TAKE IT BACK which is sort of a way to indicate you to turn it around. When you flip it the balloon looks like it is going back. I wanted to add the take it back to also portray the bad side of letting go, that sometimes you want to take your actions or words back and you regret it.

The Images:
















Explanation:
This idea came to me and I couldn't get rid of it so I had to include it. When talking about abandonment the phrase 'let it go' kept coming up and when I say it I always envision a balloon being let gone of like when a child lets it go. So I thought of a flipbook showing someone simply letting go of a balloon. If I do continue on this idea I could play around with intensity, contrast, colours and more.
