The publication will be slightly smaller than A4 to allow the double page spreads to be printed on sheets of A3 paper. It is important to make the book as affordable as possible in order to increase chances of making profit.
Stock - The contrasts between stock weight, colour and texture aims to stimulate the reader
Recycled - 135gsm
In order to show an attention to materials and enhance the sensory experience of a book, I invested in some recycled stock from G.F Smith. The flakey off white texture of the stock aims to blend with the imperfections of the paintings. The affordability of the stock also lends itself to be mass produced.
Dark Green - 135gsm
Insert to separate the cover from the content
Grey - 270gsm
Used a higher grade of gsm in order to provide structure to the cover of my publication.
Used grey to communicate digital technology whilst the green communicates the natural autonomy of art.
Standard Photocopy Paper - 90gsm
The low quality of stock and the fact that it is pure white will increase the sensory experience.
Binding
Instead of simply stapling the content together, I decided to saddle stitch it in order to communicate the process of traditional book production and make it more desirable. I chose a dark green thread in order to compliment the grey cover.
