The brief

A photobook designed as a gift for my nieces, to record their first year of life and show how they grew across the pages. Square format, hardbound and bound entirely by hand. The series shares one wildflower illustration on the cover, and each edition carries its own colour and name.

The two editions
The photobook's cream cover, illustrated wildflowers around the title «Mi primer año de vida» and the child's name.
The same cover in its pink edition: same floral pattern, a different name.
The spread both ways
A spread with one photo bleeding off the left edge and two smaller ones side by side on the right-hand page.
A spread with two small photos on the left-hand page and a large one bleeding off the right edge.
Layout
A spread with a large portrait on the left-hand page and two smaller photos stacked on the right.
A symmetrical spread: one photo of the same size on each page, centred in the white of the paper.
A chapter-opening spread: the left page empty, the right one holding the name in caps, «Capítulo 1» beneath it and, at the foot, the line «Tus primeros 365 días en el mundo».
The cream photobook shot at an angle, showing the edge of the pages and how thick the book is.
