After deciding to use card and tracing paper for my book, I began to trace maps onto the pages and then paint them. I used a stencil to title the pages.
I tested different media to write the titles on the pages and decided that a bold pen title would work best as it would stand out but not be too harsh. After titling the pages I analysed the information on them into short paragraphs; I used narrow columns to write on as this makes it easier to read.
To bind my book I knew I wanted to use the Japanese binding technique linked on the brief, so I tested this on an A5 version with the same proportions as would be on my book.
I used thread to bind my book as I thought it gave a more romantic and gentle feel to it which reflects my theme.
