BA VIS COM - Digital publishing

As I do not know what "place" I will be choosing, I started to experiment creating an ebook,  the below images are screen shots of them

.

I have animated two rectangles coming from each side to the middle and then the logo appearing from 0 opacity to 100... Unfortunately the ebook (epub) reader i have got on my windows laptop does not play the animation, but I have put them on an iphone and they work. Doing this I have learned not to separate images into two pages spread as they do not appear the same way in the phone. So one way to design the ebook could be having info/data in single pages either portrait or landscape format.

Useful pages to look at.

Ideas to write about.

My chosen ‘place’ is music, as music can take you places in your mind, by remembering listening to a song being in a particulate place, dreaming being in a place where that music is from, i.e., listening to classic Italian music such as ‘Nessun dorma’ by Pavarotti and think you are walking within the streets of Rome, or listening to a song you used to dance to when you were younger, bringing back memories of different times you heard that song.
Music can also change your mood or keep you in that mood, for example, if I am sad, I listen to uplifting music, being uplifting by either the lyrics of the song or the sound composition of the song without lyrics, if I am happy I listen to happy, cheerful songs to keep me going. If I am heartbroken, I listen to slow paste songs which I might feel identified by their lyrics. When working out and working in projects from the computer I also listen to several music genres to keep me focused and for motivation.
Music can take you to places without even moving, just by closing your eyes and listen, it can give you hope or pessimism. It can also help you to get ideas going in your mind.
Many people enjoy listening to music whilst driving, doing housework, work, exercise, write or simply to relax after a stressful day. The different types of music have different effects which affect our mood, for example, a Strauss waltz can relax and make the listener feel dreamlike and in another hand a rock song could make the listener feel energetic enough to clean a whole house. Like William Congreve wrote in 1697 in one of his books “The Mourning Bride”, “Music hath charms to sooth a savage breast”, meaning music has charms to smooth a salvage beast.


That would of being my chosen theme, but as my ebook as to be done with my own pictures and music (I am not a music producer) I decided not to develop this theme.

I had another idea which was to write as place is where love is, focusing on the people i love being in different countries throughout the world. This idea was going to be difficult to write about without being too personal, so i have decided not to write about that.

My chosen idea is: The World is my place, the tittle would be changed later on once I have decided a better one. My idea behind this idea is to write about several places where I have either live in or visited, for which I have got many pictures taken by me.
