OUDG404- What is a book? final

My final book came out really well, its clear and easy to follow and read also looks modern and colours look really nice and standouts. The biggest change to the book I made was the front cover, the idea was to screen print the cover however I change that idea and digitally printed it on thick gloss paper. The reason why I change this idea is because to make the pages in the book follow the colours needed to go white then blue I screen printed it the paper would probably be all blue both sides I could print the blue on paper in the digital print room but I thought that would be a waste of money if I screen printed it and it went wrong. Also because I knew if I digitally printed it would come out perfect and having printed on gloss means it can be taken down to the lake and if the cover get dirty you can whip it clean, if I screen printed on mat or gloss the ink could get damaged and come of the cover. This change to digitally printing the cover on gloss came out really well and I am happy I made the change. The whole book looks very modern with a lot of white space to make it clear and easy to read and follow I printed the inside page on thing mat to give the type, artwork and colour and really bold a crisp look. I used fishing line to bind the book the technique was a saddle stich. The fishing line look invisible and makes it look like it isn’t bind together which is really nice and goes with the modern look of the book. Overall every element in book has work well together and I am happy with the out come, doing this project has made me more aware of type setting and layout.
