The feedback received for part 5 was very positive. Since receiving my feedback I have made a few amendments to my work following the advice from my tutor, To begin with I decided to bind together the printed work from Exercise 4: Printing, this has created my very first artists book. The binding technique I decided to use is Single Sheet Binding, I found a video on YouTube helping me achieve this (link below)
This technique works really well with the papers I had from this exercise as they had all been printed on A4 papers.
Amendments to Assignment 5 – As my tutor had pointed out, I mistakenly failed to notice a spelling error made on one of my pages in my book. This has shown me the sheer importance of asking for a second pair of eyes to check over work to ensure that everything is up to scratch. My tutor also advised me to neaten up the edging of my printed book. I opted to have my book professionally printed from online printer company Mixam. I’m thrilled with the outcome of my book and seeing it in a professionally printed form is really rewarding!
Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed the final part to this unit I feel that I have learnt a great amount and built up many skills, especially in how to bind books which is something I wouldn’t of learnt else where.
