For my 'freestyle' pages, I decided to use my image of the bible from my third spread of the booklet because I really liked its symbolism, but felt like the symbolism was wasted in my third spread, as the image was made so abstract.
I originally planned to incorporate other imagery. But when I attempted this, I felt like it cluttered the image, and drew away from the portrayal of the theme in the spread. So instead I edited the photo to make the age, and deterioration of the bible more obvious. I desaturated the image because black and white images always read as 'old' to me. I personally think that although simple, the image in this spread is strong, and speaks for itself.
