Rather than a collaboration involvement that included myself producing the photo book in collaboration with the photographer, my role leant more towards offering technical support and design guidance. Providing technical support came in the response to Hilda using Adobe Indesign which is a programme that she was not familiar with. I therefore provided help in setting up the document and ensuring that the photographs were scaled to the correct size and colour format for printing. This has improved my skills in communication and teaching as I ensured that I did not just complete these checks myself but instructed Hilda on how to do so so that she is aware for the future.
This was a collaboration partnership that has been different to my previous experiences however has taught me the importance of communication and that not having a design input does not mean that it is not a collaboration.
