Bound Look book

After waiting for the glue to dry, Rose's look book is finally finished, I produced two mock versions however she took her copy before I could take a picture.




Binding Rose's look book



Stickers for swing tags


Because double sided printing came a little askew we decided to print stickers to correct the alignment. 

Preparing sheets for binding

Folding the sheets for Rose's handbook that I printed this morning. Getting the photography this late has seriously put a strain on the rest of my work, just goes to show it's not just about my time-management but that of other people as well. For hand-in I've enough to make 2 look books, one for myself and one for Rose, she needs hers by Tuesday though.

Swing tags

Printed the swing tags this morning on mount board double sided, as expected it's not perfectly aligned but a lot worse that I thought it was going to be, going to talk to Rose about using stickers with the info on to cover the mis-aligned info.



Look book cover

Can't spend as much time on this as i would of hoped but shouldn't probably spend too much time on it anyway, the photos have still not got back which means we're going to have to print this a day before her deadline, for once nothing is my fault but i'm still feeling the stress.

Look Book Cover

French fold/hidden pattern

Inside the french folds Lauren's  fabric pattern is printed, this is a nod towards hidden things that she implemented into her collection.


Lauren's look book bound!

Finally bound Lauren's look book, took me a few hours to get it right but finally got there, not only another 19 to go plus one for myself... however I now know how to do it propery so the next will probably be a lot quicker.

Binding Lauren's look book

Preparing to bind Lauren's look book which utilises french folds and uses a singer sew to be bound.



Lauren Carande mock up, matte stock.

Seen as I didn't have the Gfsmith stock to print on I had to go ahead and test print on 200gsm double sided matte stock. which turned out fine, a little hard to navigate through the book but I'm putting that down to the bul dog clips, off to vernon street to singer sew bind it.




After having a brief meeting, Lauren came up with the idea to have the pattern printed on the inside of the french folds to create a hidden element to the look book. Going to give this a go before Thursday's final crit.

Gfsmith order delay




So after ordering Lauren and Rose's stock on Wednesday, it failing to be delivered on Friday and their promise of a Monday morning delivery failing to come true I am now having to wait til Tuesday for the paper to arrive in the meantime I've printed Lauren's covers off on a matte stock. This has set me back almost 4 days with both look books but I'm hoping to get at least one of each printed for Thursdays final crit.
