He gave a few suggestions to refine the aesthetic of the book even more:
- perhaps place some of the abstract images on the front cover, as he mentioned that more people buy photobooks with images as front covers.
- He thought it would've been interesting to produce the 'Dario Not Dario' image on tracing paper, and place it on the full bleed abstract images at the front and end of the book.
- He mentioned to place the toddler image of myself sat on the floor at the end of the sequence, for symmetry with the first image.
- And finally, he said it might be interesting to separate the title and place 'Dario' at the front, and 'Not Dario' at the back of the book, to reflect the duality of my current and younger self.
Even if I don't use any of these suggestion, it has given me a lot of think about when looking at the work from a different perspective.
