Presentation and audience.

Over the last few weeks my focus has been moved towards this idea of audience and how my audience would percieve my work. Being a book its not very easy to exhibit. While my original theme was based to the 'be inspired' competition, its not very forward thinking for my project that has now lent itself more to a book format. While i could still exhibit sections of my collection, maybe presenting work from just one superstition i dont think it would work to be showing all at once.
If  i did show in the gallery it would be a choice of three of the bigger superstitions and i would want the images to be printed big. A1 or A0 size. Then the full collection in the book can be shown in the gift shop in the book. (editied into an image of the nottingham contempory)

The book will be avalible from blurb already. As well as a link to the blurb site on my website. The book itself is rather expencive at £50 printing cost so with the addition of profit would be around £60-65. However there is an option for me to create a smaller squared book, or a softback which with profit would work out about £20 a pop, which is much more affordable.
I could see my book as a coffee table book among the houses or artgallerys around the country, or even in art based coffee shop like
'THE DEAF CAT' a small independent art based coffee shop in my home town. I have approached them about entering my book to them for free, with the addition of my cards to accompany them.

The great thing about the smart phone barcode means if someone does see it in a shop or coffee house that they can scan it and automatically be directed to the page where to buy it themselves.
