Binding and publishing

I wanted to print my publication and experiment with binding and paper.

I printed the photography pages on gloss paper and the text pages on matt to add a bit of contrast and show the photography to its best quality. I then cut down the pages using an electric guillotine and perfect bound them using glue by hand. I felt that the finished product would be better produced in bulk by machines rather than by hand as there is more room for error and it is harder to be precise doing it by hand. I also would also in the future use a thicker stock for the cover to make it look more professional. I also think there could be even more of a contrast between the pages maybe making the photography be on a shiner stock.
