I now have the final photos ready to put into the layout and Lydia has given me all the information about each outfit so this is all the development of putting the look book together:

The basic layout I decided on consists of the information for the outfit on the left hand page, with a styled and posed image of the outfit on the right hand page filling up to the margins:

The next dps is then either of full body front, back or side views within a smaller image frame giving two columns of the grid over to white space:

The 3rd dps for each outfit is then a full bleed styled/posed or close up image and a styled/posed or close up image within the margin space. These vary from left to right hand pages for each outfit:

I then added extra details such as the list of people involved in the look book, Lydia's details, and close up pages involving her logo and detailing of her garments:

As Lydia's photo shoot was only today and it is pushing it incredibly close to final hand ins for things to be printed, I sat in on the photo shoot to not only experience the first time working with a photographer and stylists from a graphic designers point of view, but also to gain an idea of what sort of images the photographer was taking so that I could put together a basic layout for the look book before I even get the images.

This was my first experience of being on set of a fashion photo shoot!

I then went through some of the research I'd done for more inspiration and put together a really basic layout as I can now imagine what some of the pictures will look like next to each other.
