I aren't sure if i want the image of what's behind the lock to be rough and blurred too. I think its gives the book a clear connection in the images having them all like this. It also makes it harder to make out the things within the image which gives the idea that really it isn't for you to be looking at. I might try a book with this and with the full image and see how the reader interacts with it.

This is how i'll have my handles or locks. i want them to have a rough look to them so when printed on tracing paper it'll allow the reader to see through the gaps. Connoting the fact that we can open the door and see whats behind it.

Now working on a new idea. keeping to the idea of things being hidden behind the lock i'll have a page with the image of a lock this will be on tracing paper then the next page will have an image of what is behind the lock. I think this will be more visually interesting because of the use of tracing paper allowing the reader to faintly see whats behind the lock before turning the page. 

To keep the reader interested in the book i'll need to have some sort of narration in the book whether its facts and figures on theft and burglary or safety tips on how to make your house secure. This is going to take research and evaluation to make sure my book is interesting to the viewer. 

After taking my 100 photos of different locks i thought it was interesting that there's something behind every lock. I definitely didnt want my book to turn into a catalogue of locks. I came up with the idea of having nets that the reader could build to keep their belongings in. That way their things are safe like the things behind the locks i took pictures of. 

When my book was critted in class the main problem was the link between the nets and the locks. Admittedly the connection wasn't very clear and unless i have some sort of introduction to the book it wouldn't become clear. 

The other issue is keeping the reader interested in the book, the first and last page are still a net with locks on them there's no narration or direction throughout the book.

For the brief 100 ive focused my research on locks mainly looking at the obvious locks eg pad locks, key lock...but also canal locks, arm locks etc. I've researched how locks work the development of locks till digital locks. The statistics i have are based on the amount of breakins in the UK how safe people are keeping their houses. I intend on taking more photography, gaining more facts and statistics and finding more visuals of different locks. This will require questionaires, visiting diy shops, possible drawings and researching through books and the internet.

I intend on experimenting with different styles of books to see what will suit my Lock title. Packaging might play a big part in my work so i'll also be researching and playing with that. A lot of my research will be photography therefore photoshop will be a big part of my project in rendering my photos to look how i want them to. I might question what a book can be, whether a book can have 3D pages, whether the pages can come out of the book or have to stay in it. 

I will be photographing any packaging of books i am experimenting with so i can evaluate them on my blog and in my sketch pad. When developing my book i'll show it to people to see how they interact with the book, whether they find it interesting or not.
