new notebook
Posted by u l a n on Monday, February 19, 2007 at 10:42 PM.
Fiveandahalf.net posted a great tutorial on how to make an adhesive-bound notebook with photographs as covers. Of course, I didn't come up with anything as great as the samples they had on the site. I wasn't ready with all the materials, and my EQ isn't all that great. I couldn't wait for the glue to dry!!!
I used prints of my shots of Chiyomi from my Witch Project photoshoot as covers. I think I'll have to find a way to have the images printed on board, and not photopaper. And I'll choose BWs next time. Maybe I can have these images printed as BW. Hmm.
The color of the spine doesn't go with the photos, i know. But I was impatient! And I wanted to make the book already! So, I just grabbed whatever I could find. The pages aren't as secure as I had hoped to make them. But, you know... low EQ and all that.
This weekend, I hope to make other notebooks. Perhaps I should stick to sewn ones. Coptic or buttonhole should be good. We will see.
UPDATE:
The binding works ok :) The pages aren't falling apart. I doodled on some of the pages to make it look like the book was printed on :-P

impatient or not that's a great book and i really like the clean doodles you've done ... makes me want to try my hand at it too ... er, maybe later!
yeah, I saw that tutorial, your book looks nice and so does your sketches (not doodles if you ask me)! :-)
I'll try to make notebooks too, some day. or maybe I'll just use a photo and do a wire binding!
