Sequins, Ribbons, Zips, Clasps....

I need to start thinking about how the book will be visualized and interacted with. After studying the photographs I picked up on some imagery that could be reflected in the presentation of the book:

-Zips, Unzipping, Zipping up, clasps etc. The idea being to reflect upon the idea of undressing or dressing up the book or "revealing something". Maybe you have to physically unzip th book to reveal its contents. Alf is quite shy and yet when he becomes Julie he takes on this whole new character that is outspoken and charismatic.

-The format of the book could reveal more of the images as the reader turns each page, The idea of Julie as a mask crops up quite a bit during the interview.

-The idea of physically revealing what is on the page to get a better understanding of who he is/interview hidden on the inside of a French folded page, perferrated edging to reveal the text etc.

-Ribbons, 1950's fabric. Reflective surfaces, like a Mirror, Sequins and jewels, Gold Clasps.

Comments please, Thanks.
