Update on Elective Project (Limited edition bookbinding for designers) weeks I & 2 (July 27 and Aug 2, 2012)

Photos taken with ipads. First experiments in class.

Combine old and new technologies in the book bindery

Long term objective is to integrate new technology such as Ipads/iphones, in delivering content for BDes Graphics papers, and in research.

Ipad connected to screen in bindery is used to introduce the brief and demo of direct links to relevant contexts / archives etc.

Outputs for this elective:

•A sample set of limited edition binding styles in a fold-down box – students select from demonstrated binding options and create their own sample set of bindings

•A prototype for a printed limited edition with original creative content (to be developed in consultation with the tutor but it is essentially a self-directed project).•The context for your project is the Artists’ Books tradition, starting with the Russian Avant-Garde, Fluxus, etc.

•An epub (optional). The project invites connections between historic book movements and today’s epublication context.  Adobe Publshing Suite sessions by Hohepa Spooner

Individual student publication proposals are talked through in one-to-one tutorials. Visual examples of suggested genres can be put up on the screen for discussion and contextualisation.
