I had wanted to do my book this way round so that the end pages folded inwards like standard book pages but when I went to digital print I found you cannot print double sided on A2 or above - which I would have to print my book off on. By flipping the book so the pages face the opposite way I am able to still have imagery on the end pages but it will not 'open' like a book. However I think it's best there are images on the front and back cover.
I thought about having separate covers stuck onto it but I'm not too confident with gluing something that finely onto it.
I did these small paintings to see how a blue ghostly figure would look ontop of brown trees. It turned out well! Though I realise I will have to do my final images much bigger and then scale them down.
I really love the look of the trees, I think they are the most successful - slightly stylised representation. This would translate well into my final book.
Studies of Edwardian fashion and brief sketches to get my head around things. This idea is shaping up.
Initial idea roughs showing how this may be laid out. I thought the bandstand might look good in the middle of the book so both ends lead to it but Kristyna suggested that it would be better to have it at the end so the book doesn't climax in the middle and then flop. 
I thought about starting the journey in the top corner and bringing it down to the bottom - like the actual layout of Woodhouse Ridge however since I wanted the book long and thin to emphasize the trees it was suggested that I keep a solid horizon even in a rough I think this looks way better.
