I firstly went through my interviews to figure out which quotes I wanted to use to accompany my pages. From this I put them into a logical sense order so that they weren't random quotes next to each other.
This seemed to fit well. I realised that I only had 9 quotes which worried me for a few minutes but then I realised that most of the images I want to create will be landscape so they therefore will cover double pages.
After this I found reference photos I had taken and made word documents of images for each quote. So currently I feel that I have the inspiration and ideas for the pages I just need to decide on which media I am going to communicate these with.
Furthermore as I began to make a mock up saddle stitch book it became apparent that this order couldn't work in the first order as the images need to spread over a double page with the crease in the middle so I had to do a bit of moving around. I don't want all of the images to take up 2 sides as I feel some of them benefit from being portrait. This meant that actually I have ended up using more pages than the minimum 16. These are very basic roughs but they make sense when looking at the reference photographs :)
I want the font to be in different places on the different pages so that it is more engaging and less detached from the image and they harmonise together.

Whilst creating this saddle stitch book I encountered confusion (as predicted) with the numbering of the pages, especially when I added more than the original 16 together. I know that I really need to plan these pages out to avoid confusing and be careful when attaching all the images together on InDesign.
