My idea for this book is to incorporate a basic plastic CD case to hold the collection of photos, and use the inside pamphlet/cover as the book itself. The paper area that is usually used for album credits/lyrics/photos of the band/etc will be replaced with my photos! I am still deciding on if I want to create my own pamphlet portion, and then manually attach my prints to the paper (glue/staple them) or if I want to use one from a CD that goes with the essence of my collection of photos. If I included photos that were music related, which is where I feel my project is headed towards, I think the CD idea would be a really cool idea. I have even thought about putting the collection of photos on a disk, and using that as the CD inside the case. Below are examples of some of the photos I might use and an example of where they would go in the CD casing.

2. Zine
My idea for this is to create a zine, and I want to bind/thread it myself. I feel that this makes it more personal and more genuine, and can look great if executed correctly. For the photos, I want to incorporate ones I have taken that best represent a feeling or emotion. On the left side of the page, I would put a photo, and on the right page adjacent to it, I would put a song lyric that best represents the feeling or emotion that goes with that photo, and so on for each page that you flip. I was thinking of writing out the lyrics or having them spelled out some way, and then photographing the lyrics, which would then be inserted into the right side of each page. I also have thought about just writing them myself into the book, which is what I'm leaning towards. In short, every left page has a photo, and every right page next to it has a corresponding song lyric. I have included photos that I might use and photos that (hopefully) explain this idea better!
