I bought some grey board (1mm and 2.5mm) to create an initial mock up in order to gain insight into the size, format and how the screw binding would work. The hole punch wouldn't work on the thicker stock so I had to make do with the thinner board.
I used a 180mm x 180mm format with 20mm for the binding but this needs to be shortened slightly to accommodate for the whereabouts of the screws (they are currently too close to the edge). I used machine screws as opposed to the larger binding screws as the latter looked too big in comparison to book format. I also looked at using different coloured stock (orange and brown) to reference the brand colour palette.
I was worried about the hinge aspect of the publication due to the grey board but subtly scoring the underside seemed to work relatively okay. I will look into different methods, however, as the finish isn't as good as I hoped.
