OrnitholoSEE - losing/regaining perspective...

As the slog continues, i've totally lost all perspective with this project, and having a chat to classmates has woken me up a bit to what's actually expected of us in our submissions.

I've been beating myself in pursuit of trying to make the Blurb print deadline, so i can have a physical book finished, printed and delivered ready to hand it in with my development work.

But i don't need to?! It can be entirely proposed if i want - as long as i have mock-ups & proof of the work actually existing, completed and being in a position to be put into a book, then that's what i'll be marked on.

I've been so wrapped up in making a physical conclusion that this didn't occur to me - but now i've been reminded of the fact, i suddenly feel a whole load of weight of my shoulders, and that the imagery for this book is a bit more achievable that i thought yesterday.

Not so say i'll be taking my foot off the gas - i've still got a considerable amount left to do before i can reach the point where i can say i'll be happy with what i'm turning in, but re-gaining perspective has also given me an extra week back that i had intended to have all the images & text done by in order to send to print. I may even get away with not having to trim down the final bird tally any further than the revised 20.

ORIGINAL LINEUP

REVSISED LINEUP

I'll still have a number of physical loose 8x10 prints ready for submission, as they were also proposed in my initial statement of intent.
