Migrant Mother - Just in case you missed it...


The Migrant Mother was spotted today in Analogue Photography (also known as Film Photography before digital came along).Don't worry if you missed her, I'm sure she will be along again soon!

ADI - Book Design Elements

Books with design elements that I like:



  • The Americans by Robert Frank - even pages are blank (focus on one page at a time), titles on even pages, all B&W 
  • William Eggleston's Guide - opening 16 pages of text are on green paper, main pages are bright-white, very first image invites you in, odd pages are blank, title and page number are on opposite page, photo page only photo, landscape- eye-level suits the image, portrait - direction suits the image, image titles are just places with maybe year
  • Gregory Crewdson, 1985-2005 - large format, german/english text, chapter openings in blue/grey, small thumbnail opposite, plates only on odd pages, white margins
  • In Flagrante by Chris Killip - all B&W, sometimes image spreads two pages, sometimes four images over two pages
