Book Six
For this dummy book I've changed the font, its size and positioning to the bottom right, in order to emulate the intimate nature of the project, as well as symbolising that what is hidden away or not seen, much like the images in the book.
I also changed the beginning of the sequence, so the two images shown here better reflect one another.
Book Seven
For my seventh dummy book- I made the book A5 so it could be more intimate, allowing the viewer to come in closer to the work. Apart from this, I changed the font and title to Game of Life, which links in with the board game in one of the images in the sequence, and how life nowadays feels like its a game, in addition to coming to the realisation now that life has always been a game, even when I was younger.
Furthermore, I've laid out the images slightly different from Book Six by making the similar sized images the same, and I've moved the undeveloped photographs around to be used as transitions between sections: the first transition goes from archive images and objects of a seemingly happy childhood, to modern pictures that explore displacement, identity and not knowing what will happen next (which are represented through the grey photos).

| Section depicting seemingly happy childhood |

And the last transition goes back to the archive and objects, examining the goings on of my younger self, ending on a perhaps bittersweet note.
It was great to develop the book further and think how I can make the sequence better, by being objective about the work and see how I can refine the flow and narrative of the book.
