P/R/D - Binding

After talking to Lisa about binding, she mentioned screw binding which I thought would be perfect for my publication due to its association with building and construction. I looked around Youtube for various tutorials and found the following:




I just need a hole punch now. My initial plan is to have grey board or even balsa wood comprising the front and back of the publication with individual leaves for the content. I will need some form of hinge however, for the cover to open, especially if I intend to use wood. I have ordered some book binding screws of varying lengths to experiment with initial binding processes

Printing options:

Embossed cover - Woodside logo
Screen print on grey board / wood
Screen print onto buckram
Digital print on grey board
