Project Progress

Idea development.
I now am starting to book in more shoots for my project.  Having changed my idea it has given me  more logistical issues to consider than I had previously - namely that this new direction needs not only various dogs, but also the inclusion of willing owners.  I have had some success with posting a Facebook status asking for volunteers, and I have offered a print and a web image of their pet in return.  I've also contacted friends by phone and text to get as many shoots as possible booked into the next couple of weeks.  My next stage is going to be planning each shoot as I'm going to want a different feel in each shoot I do, as each image should relate to a different health benefit, or condition.  One issue I'm not sure of is wether the lighting needs to be consistent throughout the series, or if its ok to have different "looks" happening?  What do people think?

One benefit of changing directions has been that it has opened up some possibilities for my final project next year.  I definitely need to be thinking ahead on that one - especially with the prospect of having to produce the books/business plans etc at the same time.

Presentation
Ideally, my project is going to be in book format as I think this most suits my theme of "health benefits". However, realistically I may have left everything too late. Turnaround time for Blurb is 7-11 days, and BobBooks is 7-10 days.  I have previously used a bookbinding service that's based in Keele university, but I tried to contact them yesterday, and it seems they are no longer providing that service as the website has gone, and the listed phone numbers are not connecting.
Some other bookbinding options are available - there are services in Chester and Salford that I have researched.
