This fold was initial considered for the publication as the book was intended to be contained within two beer matts. This would allow each page to be visible and for a non-rip stock to be used in order to increase durability. Initial issues when experimenting where identified when having to stick sections together to make a concertina long enough, however this issue would be eliminated during the digital printing process as it would be possible to print the whole publication on one long roll of paper. Despite the success of this binding methods, design developments throughout the project made its use irrelevant.
Perfect binding, Figures 2-3:
The use of a hot glue gun to secure the individual pages in place failed to hold the variety of pages within the publication, resulting in pages falling out once the glue had dried. This provided an issue as this is the main binding method for publications which feature individual pages rather than spreads, however I plan to experiment with book cloth/tape as this will hopefully hold the different pages in place. Upon reviewing the processes I've experimented with the use of PVA glue to hold the book as hot glue is too rigid and doesn't have as much room to expand when additional pages are added. This give the spine more give allowing for the folded sections within the book to be place back into the book without breaking the spine. IN order to make the publication more durable book tape will be used to secure the spin and a small stab stitch maybe added if extra durability is needed.
