Modern Geek Culture, places high value on intellectual pursuits, technological exploration, collection, and celebration of material objects that pick their curiosity.
Such as a wide array of objects ranging from the creation of custom designed computers to stress relief outlets in the form of video games, and science-fiction novels.
Modern Geek Culture also champions the idea of the individual. Someone who is unwilling to follow trends, and who instead focuses on things that interest them personally at times even to the point of bordering on obsessive.
Layout Concept
My layout has two shapes. Every spread except for Gamer Chairs, and TV's are in a diamond shape <> to varying lengths and widths. Gamer Chairs, and TV's are in a cross layout + to break up the visual progression through the book.
The images in my layout goes from larger to small based on the popularity of the items on each spread.
The layout also represents the introspective nature of the Modern Geek by bringing the items that represent them into the center of the composition as one would bring in the things that represent them and support them emotionally in a personal place of safe keeping.

why does the layout go from larger to smaller and from center out? what is the concept that drives that particular formal decision?
Hi Jamie,

Thank you for pointing out that I was missing some conceptual description on this post. I will be correcting it now.
