Changes made to the book.
Having a second meeting about the layout of my book with a graphic designer, Harry, there were a few more changes that needed to be made. I spoke to him about how there were a couple of accidents that happened when making one of the first dummy books. This mistake was made when cutting the spine of the book, I accidentally cut the book page to then start going backwards. This is a decision that is now going to be present in the final book, the book will open at both ends, but upside down.
After discussing the layout with my designer, he agreed with me that there should not be a directed sequence to the work, but rather have the book open at both sides, as the sequence rather than the image do this. Using this way of demonstrating my book, will also co link with the title of xover – which means 'see crossover', the title will demonstrate what’s exactly in the book.
The factors that we decided to take out/change of the book were:
Some of the images don’t communicate the ideas presented within the book.
Taking the images out then means possibly taking out some pages or leaving those pages blank. (this would leave space for 'future thoughts' i.e the images in the future could replace these pages.)
The typeface from the previous dummy book.
