As for my last iteration one, I have putted more effort onto the cover design and actual book contents inside.
For cover, I used the same type of papers that was used for second one, but with more variation of patterns, colors, and overall much more effort put into it.
The total pages that I used for my book are 12. For the contents of my book, I have drawn 6 of abstract illustrations with a variety of mediums, such as oil pastels, blue pens, and color markers. Unfortunately, I decided to not write written words on my book, because the words would be blurred with marks from the art mediums that I used. Therefore, my book only fulfills "visual" aspect of my original plan, in ironic contrast to my desire of combining both visual and written narratives into one. I consider my book as total abstract sketchbook.
Overall, the bookbinding was really easy and fun in some ways. The book is made in traditional binding style with common papers that could be found anywhere. I could have got into more complex and "complete" procedures, such as hardcover making and consulting printing press or such, but I had to finish it with keeping deadline of project due.
I am satisfied with what I've done and hope you guys like it!

It was very interesting to see the process of your book project! I really enjoyed seeing how it unfolded and the results are beautiful! I think this would be a very neat concept for a scrap book or maybe even for journal project for class haha. The colors, designs, and patterns are look great together. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be great if you photocopy/scan both of your covers into the computer and print them on thick (heavier) papers! So that you can make a book cover that's more solid and the decorative papers will not be falling off easily when you flip around the pages.Love your work!
