Assignment: Handmade Sketchbook
First, start off by selecting the outer cover and designing the size and shape of the sketchbook. Fold it in half so there’s a front and back cover, and cut into it as your design requires.
Next, consider how many pages there will be and mix up the paper you plan to use - you can always add in extra pages by simply sticking them in, and folding them out.
Pick the thread you will use to bind the book together. Line everything up and, using your large needed, start to make holes in all the pages from the front cover to the back, binding them into a book.
Don’t worry if it looks messy, it’s all part of the fun.
Now cut into the pages to reflect your design, i.e. if the front cover has a front door and windows cut into it then create this. As you flick through the pages, you see other doors and windows which connect one page to the next. The same could be created for letters, logos, or figures for fashion, etc.
TOP TIP: Your work should always be a reflection of you so personalize your sketchbook and consider branding or brand colours.
