Collection 100 - Finalising the books

Once I completed all 100 designs, I was able to arrange these onto 4 A2 double sided layouts (1-24, 26-49 etc) with the excess on two A4 double sided layouts, as shown below. I printed the inside pages on thin matt and the outer pages on thicker stock:



1-24



26-49



51-74



76-99



Book 1&2 covers, 25, 50



Book 3&4 covers, 75, 100


This is the process of creating the books (in this case, the 4th). I cut out each individual page from the A2 print out but didn't worry too much whether there would be any excess white borders (as the middle pages didn't align perfectly) because this would be removed when bound and guillotined.






Middle before being bound with string.



As you can see, the back cover is much smaller than the inside pages therefore a large emount of excess will be cut off.



The paper tended to crease when folded, especially with the thicker matt (front and back cover).
