This is the Happy Birthday book I made in typography. We had a workshop in book binding, this is made from creating the layout of the pages and them photocopying them so they were printed in a booklet format. Then I stitched the pages together to bind them. The cover was made with greyboard, to make it hardback, and then newsprint to cover them.
I kept the layout very simple, as the font is very detailed and I wanted to let that speak for itself. I then designed the cover to fit with this, simply putting 'To U.' in the top corner.
I feel this worked very well and I may use this technique for my Neglected Type Project and collect all my photos into a book.
