Today's Objectives:
1-See examples of handmade book covers and imitate them.
2-Read and translate the handout given to gain a bigger knowledge in book binding, boxing and packaging
3-Have at lease one model done completely by hand with no help AT ALL!
Today's Outcome:
I just realized the mistakes I've done back in VCUQ when I had to do a book cover for my portfolio. I've learned how to do it clean and well crafted.
Got more comfortable cleaning the edges of a leather piece for a book cover.
Got more comfortable using the different tools of the basic book binding..
Today's Thoughts (very productive)
Back pains make me proud and reminds me of the good old days of freshmen year when everything was done by hand. Oh how I miss it!
Very craft oriented which is eaxactly what I'm looking for.
Finally, another place that allows you to be an OCD (just like in VCUQ)- every millimeter counts and every time you apply white glue counts.
Very very quite...MUST get iPod next time + update iPod list
LOVES the nescafe they serve, so very tasty.
Detail pictures and steps are available, feel free to ask me anytime! :D
