Abu Hammour,Phase 2 the layout

-I decided that my book layout should look like comic book form so I am better able to control the time the viewers eye.With my images, I want the viewer to take less time analyzing some images and more on others.In comic books, control is done with the size and shape of the panel the picture is in and distance between each image. You move faster between a set of images if they are small,portrait and tightly spaced then you would if the images were large ,panoramic and take up a whole page,especially taking in to account the time to turn the page.

I am now posting how my final problems look. i had first collected a lot of pictures to convey a problem, dealing with the idea of macro and micro. But then after the class critique and discussing with the teacher, i realized that even three pictures when placed next to each other (keeping in mind the knowledge of semantics), my problem was very clear.
hence i will post pictures of few of my problem.
System:
My 3 photographs for each problem are based on a system. The first photograph is a zoom in of what is creating the problem; the second photograph is a zoom out of the environnment in which the problem is created and the third picture shows again a close up of the problem. Hence when placed next to each other, one can clearly get a feeling of the space in which the problem is created.

Book Structure

I decided to create a accordion fold book. The reason why I decided to use this setup was for two reasons. One the reason why was so that I could stretch out all the images in one line and emphasize the idea of the images being in a series. The second reason is because I'm focusing on the track area of Aspire so I wanted to also in a way show this concept.



For next class I need to still work on the images that I have collected for the sequence and then I have to come up with some sort of idea of how to separate each of the problems. I either need to decide to have a fluid sequence or develop some sort of idea for chapters. I also plan to work on my title page and to connect the cover to the inside spreads. I plan to do this through the use of lines since that is my over all concept for the book.

Group Discussion

Today in our group we all discussed each  other's problems and how to solve some on them. My problem is how people fail to stand in lines in food courts' fast food restaurants. Ghada suggested one solution which is to include the same stand posts they have in airports and hotels that guide people where to stand in line. That way, customers don't really have the choice to create more unecessary lines and ques. I also suggested that she make signs for petrol stations that direct people where the entrance and exits are for these areas, because usually they are very confusing.

I also suggested that Abdullah should have signs to tell apart from the different unique spices found in souq wagif.(Abdulla, Arwa alsulaiti, Ghada Al Khater, Assil)

class discussion

what did my group discuss about my work and did they guide me:
so my group thought that the problem of the platform was working I just had to think of a scenario that would show the people facing this problem I already had the cart bumping the platform shown with images but I have to now create a scenario and photograph it with using people tripping because of it.
a few of my group members disagreed on one of my problems which was people bumping into each other especially when carrying shopping bags out of my observation and me being part of the audience in villagio this situation happens quiet often which sometimes can lead to disturbance for the other person who was bumped some get mad.
my group discussed what other possible problems they could see in villagio for example not having directions for knowing where the toilets are unless you reach a toilet and see the sign next to it same issue with shops.
for next step I'll be trying to look for problems in the shopping area not only next to the gate (Aisha Al Naama, Al Hussein Wanas, Nawar Al-Mutlaq, Wafa alsaffar)
