Bookbinding Workshops

Learning about different methods of creating a sketchbook and bookidning has really opened by eyes to less conventional methods of creating zines which relate back to the tactile aesthetic of creating the literal content, the methods of binding can reflect the same aesthetic while looking more interesting than hand stapled zines. Going through normal methods of creating leaflets physically by creating the folds ourselves the writing the page numbers down, even with the most simplified methods of creating a booklet was helpful in viduallig how to print our znes as we had a template out in front of us which i can then translate back onto an InDesign document.

The learning and practising other methods binding using a book binding kit and methods such as Japansing binding methods were very helpful in me thinking outside the box when it comes to the smaller details of creating a zine that I didn’t think about before and how this could possibly relate back to the theme of my work.
