Book Binding

Book Binding

For this session we were tasked with creating books made of paper, bound together with two different techniques; the Japanese stab stitch and the saddle stitch. I found these exercises really fun to do, as seen by the amount of books I created. My history of textiles and paper work really came into play with these tasks, which made it overly easy to do. I would love to develop these ideas further by adding a leather bound or creating a thicker book, just to see how it would work.

  Colour Stories For this task, I decided to create digital work to present my chosen colour. I had chosen to look into Crimson Red, a colour I am familiar with as it is one I am researching for my main colour brief. Having all the research beforehand was incredibly helpful, and instead of choosing a story of the colours history, I decided to choose a story everyone is familiar with that includes that colour. Red riding hood is a very famous childhood story, a fable that has always used crimson red for the little girls cloak. The colour represents many things, but in this story I believe it represents attraction, bloodlust, warning/danger and innocence. In knowing this, I decided to base my drawings off of these ideas. I decided to go many creative ways with a variety of styles, but decided I particularly liked one and wanted to develop it further, pushing my ideas. If I were to develop this more I would make the image a lot bigger and add all the smaller details and lighting.

Colour Research - 1

 Colour Research 1 This is the initial research for my colour brief. There isn't much for now, as I would like to continue to add to this page and expand my options before limiting myself to one colour. At the moment I have an idea for two colours, and how I could use them for future works.
