The word transform has various meanings to be – both positive and negative as well. Transformation to me means changing of a particular thing, development, growth, depreciation or just minute differences between pictures is also some level of transformation for me. In this project for me, transformation means changing the photos I’ve clicked through changing the image tone, color, filter, manipulation of imagery, typography, and distortion of the image. Transformation of each of these images through all these edits will take a new perspective on the word transformation as well and will also show all the skills I’ve learned this year through my course. I will be making a sixteen-page photo book for my outcome, and all the photos that will be edited will be clicked by me and it will all be my original editing. I will be showing transformation by showing different edits of my pictures to show different perspectives.

My final outcome for the project is going to be a 16-page photo book. I had made 3 different layout styles for my photo book and finally, I will be pursuing the last style which is a mixture of all the different types of editing that I’ve used in all 3 layouts. I’ll be following the traditional book layout with the text on the left side and the photos on the right side as I will have 8 pages with photos I’ll be using columns in multiples of 2 as the pages increase. My first page will be the text and the second page should be one photo, the 3rd page will be text and the 4th page will be divided into 2 columns that are 2 photos, the 5th page will be text and the 6 pages will be divided into 3 columns and the 7th page will be text while the edge page is divided into 4 columns. Then after the 8th page, the columns will start decreasing in the same order from being divided into 4 columns to being divided into 3 columns to be being divided into 2 columns and to finally one picture on the last and 16th page. Through every page UBC transformation of my photos and within the columns you will see the transformation of the same photo in 2 different styles using different forms of editing such as change of color, change of tones, typography, manipulation of text, distortion and etc. this is how I will be following through with my idea and producing my final outcome of a 16-page photo book.

My final outcome for my 16-page photo book came as I expected it to be. Because of my time management, day-to-day planning, and making realistic deadlines this time I was able to successfully achieve all my desired outcomes in the given time and had no rush in any of my work. I had enough time to edit each and every emerge at least 4 to 5 times and do a thorough revision of my entire project at least 3 times before submission. I feel like over the last few projects from where I started to where I am now I have really improved in all my skills that include time management, editing and finally putting the end product together. I do feel that I could have done more extensive secondary research but as I started highlighting my pictures even though I do not have physical proof of doing it I did get to do a lot of research on my own and that increase my learning a lot in this project first stop I feel that I have been able to understand the concept of graphic and media much better through this project as well. I personally I’m very impressed by my development in the project and my overall development in growth in my skills and techniques. I have been able to follow and take all my deadline boxes as they came and had no hesitation or problem with the deadline of this project as well. I do feel like I could have had more one or water tutorial with my teachers so as to get more feedback about my final project and I wish to do that next time.

My main goal was to improve my editing skills and we find them a lot by my last project in this course and I have been able to do that very successfully and that can’t be seen in my work itself. Through this project, I have achieved both personal and professional development. Personally, I was able to manage my time better I was and learn more about anything and techniques here’s as well, I was also able to successfully put all the things I have learned over the last year into this project in a way that made each and every image and edit stand out very prominently and combine that in my project as well, but I do not have any regrets as I was able to find more of my style and show my originality through this project as well. I feel like I could have done more extensive secondary research about different artists and the designs of photo books but I do think that I have sort of created my own style through this project as well. further in my bachelor’s of graphic in media design. Exhibiting a photo book digitally was the best option but due to the current circumstances it’s all I have to do but if I was given a chance to exhibit this work of mind in a way that I could I would have printed large posters of my double-page spreads and viewed it out and I would have even printed out many samples of my photo birth for exhibition. I feel like my work, exclusively this photo book goes to a large group of the audience out there it is not only restrained to a specific age group. I feel like each and every day at grow to be at younger than me or elder than I would have a very different perspective and a different thought towards each of the images that I have produced in my photo book and that is what makes it an interesting because no one will have same understanding or attachment towards each edit in each photo that I have.
