Final construction




After the inner pages were bound with glue, the cover was the glued and attached. The edges of the book were then trimmed down to alleviate any paper size differences. Even though the perforator was used to mitigate the ink on the cover cracking it still cracked somewhat. In a large scale manufacturing process this would be negated through better printers, better ink, and better paper. 

Due to the proximity of the title to the edge of the page it was made difficult to perforate an extra line of considerable length in order to strengthen the cover with additional glue. This problem was solved by increasing the size of the extra fold on the back cover, which allows for extra strength and durability without compromising on the design. 

Precise colour management led to a successful physical realisation of the on-screen aesthetics.
