Designing a book is usually regarded as creating visual imagery for the books cover, however, that is not the case. There are many other elements of a book that can be designed, including but not limited to layout, size and the type of paper or card used within the text. Within this workshop we were challenged to create a concept for a book design and its purpose within a short period of time.
Before we started we were all shown a variety of different carefully designed books and how they can take many alternative forms and include various sorts of mediums to that traditionally perceived. Some of the books shown, were very beautiful as I love books, I believe that a good book is also based on the books design. I saw that some of them, were opened bind which is where you can see the spine and thread.
Overall, this workshop was really fascinating and intriguing for me. I really liked knowing how to create books in certain ways and it was interesting knowing all the details required.
