Safari 2017
Holiday Photobook Publication
This personal publication design project documents the photographic highlights of a South African safari I experienced with my family. The photobook was designed to capture the diversity and atmosphere of the wildlife and landscapes encountered throughout the journey.
Each image was carefully curated and edited through colour correction, cropping, and subtle refinements to ensure visual consistency and clarity. The final publication presents the photography in a considered format that balances realism with visual polish, while allowing the imagery to speak for itself.
The photobook was printed in a landscape A4, perfect-bound format.
Each image was carefully curated and edited to ensure a consistently high level of photographic quality throughout the publication.
Many spreads focus on a single animal, pairing a full-bleed feature image with supporting photographs arranged using a structured grid layout.
Selected spreads combine animal and landscape photography, grouped by similar colour palettes and cohesive visual tones.
Several spreads omit wildlife imagery entirely, instead focusing purely on the breathtaking atmosphere of the surrounding landscapes.
Other spreads avoid full-bleed imagery and feature different animals across each page to create visual variety.
Spreads featuring a range of animals maintain balance and cohesion through consistent layout and spacing.
Vector patterns derived from selected photographs are used on the chapter opening spreads to introduce an additional layer of visual interest.
