the theme of my book is a visual interpretation of Charles Bukowski's poem "Bluebird." the purpose is to align the text to the grid in the corners, then have the pictures interact with the text and break out of the grid to evoke a chaotic mood. the poem, while beautiful as a whole, has very gritty imagery, and i wanted to convey that. the text and the recurring images used for the "bluebird" are the key unifying traits throughout the book; most of the effects are either blur, blend, or extrude & bevel. the "extrude & bevel" tool is key as it makes the images look more rigid and claustrophobic, mimicking the feelings of the trapped bluebird in the poem. right now, my favorite part is the second to last page of the poem, which is partially shown in the first image.
