Getting contacted

A photograph student contacted me as they've seen my work on the set in stone brief and wanted me to design their photo book. This has been really exciting as some one wants me to create something for them is such a great experiance. I excepted (even though the project wont be finished until after the ppp hand in) and began to work on it keeping in constant communication with her. after creating some mock ups i sent them over (i was too ill to go in to talk in person) to get some feedback from her: (blue is me)

hey! im super sorry, was ill last night and didnt come into uni today. i do have the moc ups here so if you want to look at them and see which ones you like or if you want some thing different. so there are variations of the double page spreads , portraits and how to do the culture sections. let me know what you think and what needs changing.

Oh no! Hope you feel better soon thanks for this, I will

Ok! so i have had a look. i think they are all very good layouts

this one works very well in a sense that it's not full bleed, because and i quite like that bit of text on the side (will need to figure out what to put in there )

this spread, love the black and white - i think the image on (left) needs to be cropped differently, its at a weird crop i will look further into this and try resolve this

other than that, it looks really good, love that but of text on the right.

this image, works extremely well in full bleed so its a keeper for sure

i feel that this one draws my attention more, i think its nice how it has a little border around it, making it more spacious and not so full on. however, is there any particular reason why you have placed her on the left hand side of the book rather than the right?

Brill, if there train ones you like then I'll follow up with them. In terms of the image on the left, I was trying to lead the eye of the reader so they can get a better view of the person in question. If you want the text on the left hand side then I can do that for you

interesting, ok! um, with this particular image, the woman said that i could take her image, but she did not want to make any other comment about the questions, so maybe it would be best to place her image on the right, and would it be professional to have a complete blank page along with her portrait or should we put something there?

this has been very interesting as ive developed a more professional way of talking to her as a client which was easier as ive never met her before.
