OUGD404 - Studio Brief 01 - Binding

The idea of the book itself was to not only replicate commercial colour charts, but also to emulate a notebook of sorts that someone had possibly used to collect and document their favourite colours and memories and used it to combine the two. I wanted to use the binding of the book as an opportunity to convey this idea fully, and so the spine of the book is hand sewn to give a DIY feel to the whole publication. The left side of the publication's pages were hand stitched onto the back side of the cover, creating a wrap around cover that also provided a spine to conceal the cut left edges of the pages
