How Do You Read? Print 2

Print Book using Cellophane 


Print 2
Since the acetate causes issues in the last print, this book was created using coloured cellophane for the pages. This was to make the book thiner so it could be bound correctly. This causes issues as the cellophane was even harder to cut evenly, the material isn't very durable so ripped very easily whilst being cut which lead to never edges, this gave the book and unprofessional, unfinished feel. This wasn't the only issue with this material, once bound edge of the cellophane between the binding ripped just to the thinness of the material and the pages instantly fell out once bound therefore could be submitted.



These images how how the page feel out when the book was bound due to the thinness of the material strip left between the binding and the edge, to avoid this next time i will use the acetate again like the first test as this allowed the pages to stay in place and not fall out unlike this test. 


As the cellophane was very thin it was very hard to cut, it was ripped by the scissors/scapula/guillotine when it was tried to avoid this i tried to add masking tap to the edges to give the a large thickness before they where cut. This worked as it allowed the edges to be cut straight without the cellophane ripping till the tape was removed, then it was very difficult to remove it without ripping the material, some of the pages has rips along the edges which gave the book and unprofessional scruff look that seem in appealing. Also this shows how easily a child could rip this material this makes it suitable for a book for children.
