Amazon Publication: Supplied Files Update

Earlier today (over lunch to be precise) I met up with Andrew to acquire the relevant files that would allow me to begin progress with the Amazon publication. In total, just over 120 photographs were supplied in addition to 17,000 words of written diary/blog entries. I have to admit it was fairly daunting as I have never worked on a project as large as this before!

Either way, as previously discussed the size of the images would ultimately determine the maximum format of the book as both Andrew and I were keen to utilise full bleed images every now and again just to simply show-off some of the amazing landscapes that were witnessed over the course of the six months.

It turned out that at 300dpi the photographs were ever so slightly larger than a full bleed page of A4. That was literally the format choice over as neither of us wanted to sacrifice image quality and potentially gamble with printing images at 150/180dpi in order to get to full bleed A3. I guess it is kind of easier when you have more restrictions?

Here are some of the images supplied that will no doubt feature as main attractions over the duration of the final read:
