Thirteenth and final photobook

I went in today with the mindset of making the final photobook, but the initial book didn't turn out well, due to how I creased the pages; as I was advised not to cut the images beforehand by a member of staff at the printers, I tried to measure the actual book and find the middle point, so it was completely central. Yet it was difficult after making multiple attempts finding the crease, because the machine was in the way; therefore I had to guess where the middle was, and once the book was bound the creases were too noticeable.

However, this gave me an opportunity to change certain aspects of the book: for instance, the abstract image was flipped as I wanted it to coincide with the layout, since it is going from dark to light, ascending to something hopeful and optimistic, which is reflected in its layout.

And I've refined the text, by not making it too obvious with spacing "me" and "I", in addition to removing anything relating to displacement; I wanted the viewer to be able to get the message without having to spell it out for them.

Once the images were printed, I decided to simply crease all the pages the same, to make it easier for myself. But once the book was made and I was cutting it to size, one side of the book was smaller than the other; this bothered me as I wanted the book to look professional and symmetrical, but I can explain it away since it lends itself to the rough and handmade aesthetic of the project. I simply hope I won't be penalised because of the book, as if I had more time I would make another book and perfect it.
