Got the final idea for my book ready - a panoramic woodland scene leading you to Woodhouse Ridge's bandstand where there will be ghostly figures enjoying themselves. As this is what they did back in the day - I think it would be interesting to give a reflection of the past.
- Think about layout. Do roughs of the pages - think about working in double page spreads (my book width will be half an a5 piece of paper so double page spreads would make sense rather that trying to cram lots of information into one tiny page)
- Base parts of the book on the actual place - I am including the bandstand from the real place but also intend to include another couple of things I noticed there such as a creepy circle of trees, and various people.
- Colour shift throughout the book - starting with greens and oranges and browns and then shifting to more unnatural tones of blue and purple for the ghostly scenes. I really like this idea as I was going to do the ghosts in blue anyway so adding a more definitive colour shift might be interesting.
- It was also suggested I do a pattern across the back of the book with Edwardian and woodland ephemera which also shifts in colour along the back of the book. (I think this idea is good too because I didn't want the back of the book to be just blank)
- Research Edwardian Fashions. (so my ghosts can be somewhat historically accurate.
