Hey guys.

I got the opportunity to build my own photography book for free as i got selected for testing a companies new high end products. I thought it might be a good chance to print my best pictures. I was very unsure about which pictures to include and ended up with landscapes because thats what i shot most, obviously. I decided for a black and white cover even thought the rest of the images is color, because the cover will be on coated paper while the content is on uncoated/matte.

Im now pretty happy with what i got, and then decided to sort them by seasons (spring, summer, fall and winter).
Im not sure if I would move the last two images to the front so that it starts with winter. That way it would be arranged like in a calendar.

Your feedback is highly welcomed as i have only 10 days left to finish it before my test-access gets removed.

Here the link to the PDF: http://davidfarina.com​/TEST3.pdf (external link)

About the images in general and about the arrangement of the pictures. Not sure if i should leave the arrangement or if i should put the last two images to the front or switch some of the images?

For my feelings the first season of a year is spring, but since january and february is mostly cold it should maybe start with the ice and snow pictures.

It is widely accepted that the bestest images lead the book...number of images is a personal choice.

I am... unsure about the consistency of the pictures. I really really like the first, and pages 10 and 12. Others I dont like as much.

I could comment on other aspects of the book... but I have little expertise there.

It is how it is. I am certain that these does not reflect the level im aiming at, but since its for free i thought why not try it out. If just for giggles. I appreciate your feedback thought!
