Design For Print - Written Content


This is how my books will be split up into three books and a fourth swatch booklet. 

The content will be split into Print Processes & Finishes, Colour & Artwork and finally Stock, Binding & Cost. I will use the research i have gathered and type up all of my own notes into structured pieces of text that can be placed into these booklets. I will also collect all the source imagery that i will be using as examples and pooling them together to be used too. This will be a mixture of primary and secondary imagery. I will also continue to collect samples hopefully until i can have a sample of every process I have explained in the book. These will eventually create my swatch booklet for the fourth. I will trim them all down to the same size and bind them using the Japanese stab stitch method.
