Making the book pt 1

Luckily I've had quite a bit of practice at making books now, after the Thought Bubble zine and 504 so I didn't feel too daunted at this! Decided to make a simple concertina book out of double page spreads and to then just make hinges to put the book together. This is how I approached my concertina for 504 and it worked really well, so I was confident approaching this. Also after Mike Flower's software workshops last week I am starting to feel more confident using InDesign, which is a skill that will stand me in good stead in the future.

When choosing what type to use in my book, I knew I was after something clean and slick; this would be reminiscent of the style of gallery labels, and also provide a nice contrast for those pages where I used my own hand rendered type.
