About The Author: Digital Printing + Assembling the Book

Here I made a photoshop file which I was able to print, and make into a concertina book:


Because of my unfortunate experience in the print room, I was forced to print digitally which I was really disappointed about. Although my images weren't going to be as authentic and original, I had alot more time to consider the stock, and found an off white textured paper that was perfect for what I wanted to create. It wasn't too rigid either which helped when folding. 


Once the book had been printed, I found it quite difficult assembling the actual book, which took alot longer than I thought. Thankfully I printed out registration marks and guides on where to fold to ensure a neater fold. Unfortunately, I decided to fold it at first without using a bone folder, which I later acquired, but feel as though my book would've looked alot neater if I had used one initially. Really good piece of equipment though, and I now have one for future paper folding tasks!
