What is a book?

Publication Research:

A book is a written or printed piece of work, consisting of pages that are glued or sown together along one side and bound in covers. 

 I would like to experiment with a publication that has a equal contrast of imagery and typography. Something that I think works with both of the above examples is the set colour palette that is used throughout the publication. This adds consistency to the piece and improves the readability. 

Binding:

I would like to incorporate the bookbinding in the design on the publication. I think that this makes the piece more personal and detailed as it shows the audience the handmade process that the book has been through.
