THE GRID. book layout

I created these in response to the feedback that my books should consider THE GRID

However, the WHOLE point of my books are to be journals, personal and took hand written, as far away from the GRID as possible!

Small boook Mock - Up

Spray Mount - NEVER again








Mini Books

Creating Mini Books... concealing the secrets. 
The idea behind these would be to make miniature versions on the bigger books to be portable and carry around inspiration, not to necessarily have space to create your own journal. 
Or, these books could create a opposite effect adding creativity making the audience use small spaces. 

Screen Printing Induction

Covers.
I didnt get my first choice for my elective... so i didnt do Screen Printing. So here is my induction.
For my final books I wanted to screen print the covers to add a personal level for a journal. I used lots of different stock, as I thought each oif my 5 books would have the same cover design but different stocks.


These took me all wednesday day to create, from 10-3pm. I am pleased with my outcomes, and I'm happy i finally did my induction!
I may create different designs to fit in better with my books layout and theme. We'll see...
