History of Bookmaking and Plans for my book

History of Bookbinding

    Long before the creation of first civilized society, communications between ancient humans were recorded on the wall of caves, where they lived. They marked their records of thoughts, experience, and ritual images with sharpened stones and any other personal item relics that allowed them to imprint their historical journals on the wall. The most famous example of ancient "writing" is the cave paintings in Lascaux of France.
         As the humans evolved, in terms of intellectual and cultural knowledge, and created ancient civilizations, their techniques on recording their writings also improved from simple abstract paintings on cave wall to more variety of different mediums and writing methods. Different civilizations in peculiar nations recorded their written texts on different mediums, such as bamboo scrolls in China and papyrus papers used in Ancient Egypt. Most of these early typo-graphed mediums were written on one side only, and had to be kept in secret storage. 
      Significant development on recording the written language were made in Europe around the 15th century. A German blacksmith named Johannes Gutenberg invented the technique of printing, in which he used certain printing devices that imprinted written languages on papers. With his idea of printing press, Gutenberg has allowed the people to read the formatted papers in one completed form, or was known as "book". People were now able to read texts in "movable form", as they carried their books to anywhere and any time they want. Also, the words were written on both side of the paper
     Gutenberg's print-pressing has become the standard format of printing books and started to be generalized through the globe in long time of procession in improvement with advanced technology.



Planning

    For my own book, I am planning to create a visually abstract collaboration with words and artworks. The subjects for writings will be about my gibberish thoughts on the theme that I would decide on time of working on contents of the book. The inspiration for this idea was from my old art project that I have worked on during my high school year; the objective for the project was called "Visual-Journal", and I was allowed to create a variety of different artworks with combination of numerous words on various topics that I drew upon it.
It would be like visual poem book, but with more involvement of different art styles that I want to try it.
