Final books




This is the final book produced compiling all the digital church illustrations:

  • While I am happy with the work I have produced, when printed, the colours came out a lot darker than they had been on the computer monitor. This has changed the images quite drastically I feel. However people have said that it adds to the eery look, so I will accept it. 
  • The printer left a lot of scruff marks on the pages, meaning that my final product is not as slick as I hoped.
  • The inner pages, printed on  thinner stock got warped by the ink. Should probably have used the thick stock throughout
  • I made the outer cover slightly larger than the inner pages, but it may be a little too large
  • Little logo on the back didn't come out very clearly
I am very pleased with the final chosen format being taller than I initially planned. This was definitely the right choice to make. The index page also turned out very nicely, with people commenting on the nice addition it made.



My second book, produced in the last couple days of the project was also quite successful and well received. It is a lot closer to how I had been planning to work in the early stages of the project and is more similar to what sort of work I produce in general. In this way, it is less adventurous, but considering the context on how/when it was produced I think this is acceptable.
Apart from a little smudge/mistake on the text, I think it came out really nicely. Given more time, I would have done something with the cover, maybe sticking a label or screen printing onto it.
