This week, I went to Eastleigh to visit them and talk more about my final book design and see previous examples. Patrick filled out forms of all my book details, paper style, amount of pages, type of cover and bind etc so he could give me a cost estimate.
I decided on an A4 landscape, aluminium clip bind, approximately 30-40 pages half text half imagery, my text would be on translucent paper and images on silk paper, my cover black and glossy and I would order 5 for the moment, this was estimated at around £215 a lot cheaper than I thought!
The agreed date to submit book to the company was the week commencing 27th April.
Later that day I received really bad news about my model. She died her hair blonde. Naturally I went into crazy panic mode, thinking the worst, thinking my project was ruined and there was no solution. I managed to see a picture of the damage and she had dip-dyed the ends of her hair a bright blonde, I had my final shoot starting early the next day with both models. I was planning of seeing her hair first, then potentially going out to my brunette hairspray, brunette extensions, or re-shooting all the previous shoots. I felt the latter was the most sensible idea so prepared to go out an buy more flowers to re-shoot the death scene and planned potential solutions to shoot on other days.
Once I met up with her in the morning I looked at her hair and you couldn't see any blonde. My sigh of relief must have echoed across the whole country! In the picture I saw there was a filter and effects, her hair actually looked like it was shining in the sun. Luckily this allowed me to not dig deeper into my budget and to not waste any more time than I already had been.
