Ninth dummy book

As I was happy with my last dummy book, with its book size and paper type for both the conceptual and normal imagery, I kept everything more or less the same for this current book, but refined it a bit more: I edited the title by removing any evidence of it coming from a text book, so as to surprise the viewer when they stumble upon the original image in the book.

I also moved the written text to the bottom right of the page, so it isn't covered by the spine of the book, and to reflect currently feeling down and unsure about my life by placing it low on the page.

This time, instead of cutting the images down to A5 individually, I grouped the photographs in the right order, stapled them together and then guillotined it, so it was all the same size.

Another change I did was to use tracing paper for the conceptual images, in order to experiment.

Overall I am very happy with how this book has turned out, as all the little details I've changed have made it better, from the title to the different paper type for the abstract images; using tracing paper successfully illustrates the space between spaces, due to its translucency and the image seemingly fitting on the blank page, but finding out that it doesn't, which links to how I feel.

However- to refine it even further- I would crop some of the full bleed images, as there are gaps between the image and the edge of the page. Furthermore- I will consider to use saddle stitch next time, to see if it improves the book.
