Right here is the first half of my book more or less complete, as you can see i have added more information and detail on the inside cover with fold out page. I have designed my own contemporary grid system of the football pitch on the fold out page, so that when the viewer flicks through the pages they can refer to the grid system and know exactly where the ball is on the pitch. I have also put information about the starting line up of the match, including players and formation.
I think the white screen print works very nicely on the green paper stock and really gives the impress of the football pitch; and all i need to do now is choose my paper stock for the body of my book, get the second half complete and finally make a slipcase for both books to sit in.
I am planning on getting both books perfect bound, where all pages are collated and then are glued at the spine and then glued to the book cover/book jacket.
Ok, haven't updated my blog for a while for many reasons. Mainly because I have been focusing on my other university brief (work coming soon) and a dissertation which is due in a couple of weeks :/..scary stuff!!
Right back to the matter at hand! Here are a few snapshots of the Screenprinting process and the second half cover for my Turn Of Phrase book. Sorry about the quality of the photographs, they were taken on my iPhone lol! Screenprinting is a very nice process, which can produce beautiful outcomes, and I would recommend anyone to use it if they get the opportunity!
Trust me, it makes a change from staring at the computer screen designing stuff on Photoshop and Illustrator!!
