Booking Binding Workshop
For Design principles 403 i have to create 2 books, for this i will need to research, experiment and use different book binding method so today we had a workshop on 3 simple styles of book binding. The main idea i currently have for my first book is ring binding but this can be done with a plastic binder in the library so we didn't test this method.
(sorry for the low quality image this is a key area i need to work on, we have a photography lighting induction next week where i can learn how to take better images)

This workshop has been very useful as now i know how to make each of these folds, i can use these in my books for 404 but also for any other personal work. Before this workshop i had no idea how to create a professional looking book now i have 3 different styles i can try. The first two style worked best in my opinion as these where less messy (didn't include glue) which gave a more finished professional looking book as i created less mistakes with them. The Japanese style stitch can be changed and created in different patterns which adds detail to a simple cover, the saddle stitch is desecrate leaving the cover to be the focus also allows all the page to be seen, where as the concertina style might work best for a children book or a book that would only be read at home as very impractical as it follows out massively.
