Final Book!

Final Images: 

I like the simplicity of these lines and felt it
 would be suitable next to the inside cover

Interesting element of the forest

Having decided this I then sat about working out the pagination using a mockup of my book I had made using folded paper so I could remove pages and rearrange them if I changed my mind. I also drew up a template in Photoshop using the rulers so that all my images would be in the same position and be the same size and even, when folded.

Using this I dragged all the images I wanted into Photoshop and organized them into folders, layering each half via cut so that I could mix and match them during the printing process: 

Printing: 

I was able to borrow my flatmate's printer luckily and had to work out what side the printer printed on as I was manually printing on both sides. I chose to print the cover on a semi gloss canvas card to differentiate from the inside pages and to create a professional finish. Inside I used some plain matte white card so overall the book is sturdy and well finished.

Binding: 

I've decided to saddle stitch the book together so I've measured a series of holes made using the compass and decided on black thread as this is neat and tidy.
