Tenth dummy book

Using feedback I've received from my tutors, I have decided to saddle stitch this current dummy book, instead of using a bind, so as to see what it looks like with this project.

However, when creating the book, I had to change the arrangement of some of the abstract images, in order to conform to the layout of the saddle stitch.

Nonetheless, I like the new arrangement of the tracing paper, especially here as pictured, because it acts as a taster of what is to come in the book, as well illustrating a distant memory when it comes with the disused objects and attic space (due to its translucency).


Also, I like the saddle stitch since it shows the images fully now, without the bind covering aspects of the photos in the guttering, in addition to looking much more professional. I was unsure about using staples for the bind, because I was hoping to use thread, but I think using staples lends itself to the homemade and rough design of the project.

By creating this book, I have a clearer idea of what the final photobook will look like, in which I will continue to refine it.
