Context Publication

Open publication - Free publishing - More context

I've printed my cover onto kraft card, i'm yet to bind my book so here is a mock up of how it will look once its put together:

Context Binding

I want to use spiral binding for my context but to make it look a bit different, it's not going to be bound down the whole side, but split into 3 spirals evenly spread.
I've been in contact with a few binders in Leeds but can't find anywhere that can spiral bind with the gaps so I'm going to attempt it myself!

I've taken a spiral out of an old sketch book I had and cut it up into 3 small spirals:

I will need to measure the holes out quite precisely so the spiral fits perfectly to my book. I dont have time to laser cut now so I will very carefully hole punch my pages (I hope this works out!)

Spiral Binding

I actually really like spiral binding when it's in the right context. I particularly like the example below with the kraft cover notebook. I feel throughout this year quite a bit of my work has used kraft card and so this might be a good idea for my cover!

 

I think this idea above of separate spirals looks awesome!

Eat Me!

Lorenzo suggested in my tutorial that if it is mainly food packaging I am interested in then there is no problem creating my whole context publication around this. I came across this book which is perfect inspiration for me:

Eat Me is basically a book which features food packaging and branding design which is pretty much exactly what i am interested in myself!
