BRIEF 15: AN EXHIBITION OF PARIS//BINDING BOOK//OUGD603

binding book
After printing and cropping the book Lisa and I clamped it with bull dog clips to allow the pages to remain as close as possible, this was fairly important as its such a thick book so having the pages fanned out made it look untidy and slightly unfinished.  In terms of binding the book we needed to saddle stitch individual compartments, then the next stage would be to perfect bind the compartments to the spine of the cover.

We split the booklet into seven sections, three for the french side, three for the english side and the middle divider which changes the way up of the book.  We did a simple binding technique, using two stitches as the book is of a small custom sized, three stitches wouldn't of been necessary.

Now all the separate sections are combined we need to think about the best way to perfect bind the book to the screen printed cover.  Neither of us have done this process before so we have looked into the method and technique behind it.

French and English section, the French section being translated for the first three pages, rest of booklet remains as photography.  On opening title page information includes, title, sub heading -photographs of Paris, our names and the time period all the photos were taken in.
